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 Tencent Gui'an Qixing 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.

Tencent has 5 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Tencent Western Cloud Computing Data Center, Tencent Huailai Dongyuan Cloud Data Centre (腾讯怀来东园云数据中心) and Tencent Huailai Ruibei Cloud Data Centre (腾讯怀来瑞北云数据中心). It sits on the Tencent Qixing campus. The named user of the compute is Tencent (confirmed).

The build is phased. Phase 1 (cave halls) is operational with a 2018 target; Later phases is under construction; Tencent intelligent computing centre is under construction. The dated record runs from under construction on 1 May 2018 to operational and expanding on 13 January 2025. Cooling uses air cooling.

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 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 1 September 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

Access to AI chips

GradeLicence required for a party

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.
