Your call. Will it be built?

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

Qingyang holds 8 active projects with 395 MW of planned IT load between them, and China Unicom Qingyang Intelligent Computing Center has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 3 are operational and expanding, 4 are under construction and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Qingyang, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

China Unicom has 9 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including China Unicom Zhongwei Cloud Data Center, China Unicom (Huailai) Big Data Innovation Industrial Park (中国联通(怀来)大数据创新产业园) and China Unicom Southwest Data Center (Chongqing Shuitu). No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The build is phased. Phase 1, two buildings, 110kV substation, about 60,000 P is under construction with a 2025 target; Phase 2, two further buildings is announced. The stage was recorded as under construction on 25 November 2024. The money on record is CN¥3.4bn as of June 2025, the announced investment.

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 3 public sources for this project, the latest dated 4 August 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

How well evidenced is it

Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.

Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.

AI workloads

StatusLikely

The design serves 8 to 60kW intelligent computing racks, with centralized water cooling and pilot cold-plate and immersion liquid cooling. No deployment is confirmed yet.

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

Planned MW is IT load, the power available to servers, unless marked otherwise. Running capacity is rarely published, so a missing figure means undisclosed.
