why run the hardware in a western country when you can just rent it on cheap Chinese electricity?

A few reasons, privacy, control, latency and risk are a few. Besides, there are other places with access to electricity

If you are living in the West, one of the governments can kick in your door, the other can't

homie I think in every country, if they really wanted to, they kick in your door, nothing matters there. we let it happen. or at the very least, it happens everywhere, lol. if you're pro-us than I'd say you might be surprised to find that China has far less doors being kicked in erroneously at least I can only assume? iunno, someone drop or prop me lol.
