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

Chongqing holds 10 active projects with 0 MW of planned IT load between them, and China Telecom Cloud Computing Chongqing Base (中国电信云计算重庆基地), Shuitu has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 6 are operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 2 are under construction and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Chongqing, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

China Telecom has 12 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including China Telecom Smart Cloud Base, Huailai Park (中国电信智云基地怀来园区), China Telecom Smart Cloud Base, Zhangbei Park (中国电信智慧云基地张北园区) and China Telecom Qingyang Computing Center. It sits on the Shuitu Liangjiang International Cloud Computing Industrial Park (两江国际云计算产业园), Shuitu. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The build is phased. Phase 1 is operational with a 2016 target; Full build-out, about 20,000 racks is announced. The stage was recorded as operational on 14 October 2016.

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 7 March 2025, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

No tenant disclosed. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy. Not yet checked against second-order sources.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for China, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
