Will it get built?Built7 of 7 gates passed
✓ Land secured✓ Power arranged✓ Approvals granted✓ Money committed✓ Tenant or own use✓ Builder appointed✓ Construction started

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

Gui'an holds 12 active projects with 90 MW of planned IT load between them, and Huawei Cloud Gui'an Data Center has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 5 are operational, 4 are operational and expanding and 3 are under construction. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Gui'an, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

Huawei has 3 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Huawei Cloud North China (Horinger) Data Center, Huawei Cloud Ulanqab Data Center and Huawei Cloud East China (Wuhu) Data Centre (华为云华东（芜湖）数据中心). It sits on the Huawei Cloud Gui'an campus. The named user of the compute is Huawei Cloud (confirmed).

The build is phased. Phase 1 is operational with a 2021 target; Zone D1 is under construction; Huawei Cloud Machang data center / intelligent computing base is under construction. The dated record runs from under construction on 3 August 2017 to operational and expanding on 13 January 2025. Power comes from 华为云计算技术有限公司 (substation owner) through a dedicated substation at 220 kV.

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 10 public sources for this project, the latest dated 18 March 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

AI workloads

StatusLikely

Xinhua (18 Mar 2026) says the centre supports national AI large-model training. Daily Economic News (25 Aug 2026) says its Gui'an AI factory hosts 13 AI companies. Huawei Cloud signed an agreement on 30 Mar 2024 to build an intelligent computing base in Gui'an.

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
A party named in a government authorisationNo
US approved operator or confirmed client on the projectNo
Named chip-vendor partnershipNo
