Zhonglian Data South China HQ and South China Computing Centre, Shaoguan (中联数据华南总部暨华南算力中心项目) is a data center project in Zhenjiang Industrial Park, Shaoguan High-tech Zone, China, operated by Zhonglian Data Group (中联数据集团), via Guangdong Zhonglian Yungang Data Services (广东中联云港数据服务有限公司). It is under construction. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 63,200 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.

Latest change on record: moved to under construction on 13 March 2025. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.

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

Shaoguan holds 11 active projects with 200 MW of planned IT load between them, and Zhonglian Data South China HQ and South China Computing Centre, Shaoguan (中联数据华南总部暨华南算力中心项目) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 4 are operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 3 are under construction, 1 is being commissioned and 2 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Shaoguan, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

Zhonglian Data Group has 3 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Zhonglian Zero-Carbon AI Computing Park (Cloud Base), Inner Mongolia Zhonglian Yaxin Green Intelligent Computing Centre (内蒙古中联亚信绿色智算中心项目) and Zhonglian Zero-Carbon AI Computing Park (Xuanhe), Zone A. It sits on the Zhonglian Shaoguan campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The dated record runs from at the land and permitting stage on 4 April 2023 to under construction on 13 March 2025.

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 9 September 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.

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.

A party headquartered in China or Macau on the projectYes
Country-level export frameworkNo

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.
