China Mobile (Sichuan Chengdu) Data Center

Chengdu, Sichuan, China · Tianfu (Chengdu) market · location approximate to district level

China Mobile (Sichuan Chengdu) Data Center is a data center project in Chengdu, China, operated by China Mobile Sichuan (中国移动四川公司). It is operational and expanding. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 19,000 racks, with 10,000 in service. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.

Latest change on record: entered the record as expanding on 25 June 2022. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.

This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

China, 2026-10-12. China coverage is a pilot of one cluster, Zhongwei in Ningxia, entered on 12 October 2026 from Chinese-language primary and state press sources. Other Chinese hubs are not yet covered, so no China total here describes the country. Many Chinese projects publish rack counts and no megawatts. ArusGrid records the rack count and leaves capacity blank rather than convert it.

Where it sits

Tianfu (Chengdu) holds 6 active projects with 0 MW of planned IT load between them, and China Mobile (Sichuan Chengdu) Data Center has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 3 are operational, 2 are operational and expanding and 1 is under construction. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Tianfu (Chengdu), and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

China Mobile has 11 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Park B, China Mobile (Gansu Qingyang) Data Center and China Mobile Hohhot Data Center. It sits on the Shuangliu District campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The build is phased. Phase 1, 10,000 racks is operational; Phase 2, 9,000 racks is under construction. The stage was recorded as operational and expanding on 25 June 2022.

The US export control position for advanced AI chips in China, as of 7 October 2026, is recorded as “Licence required, presumption of denial, case-by-case review for H200-class chips since 15 January 2026”. ArusGrid holds 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 18 June 2024, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

AI workloads

StatusLikely

China Mobile's Sichuan hub in Shuangliu installed its first 1,700 AI servers in Feb 2023. Whether that hub sits on this campus is not confirmed.

Access to AI chips

GradeLicence required for a party

A party to this project (its operator, that operator's group, a funder, or a confirmed client) is headquartered in China or Macau or has an ultimate parent there. US rules require a licence for advanced AI chips destined to such entities wherever they are located. This describes the rule and says nothing about whether a licence was sought, granted or refused. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

US licence required for this destination as enforcedYes
A party headquartered in China or Macau on the projectYes
Country-level export frameworkNo
