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

Ulanqab holds 18 active projects with 1,262 MW of planned IT load between them, and Kuaishou Xinghe Data Center, Ulanqab has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 4 are operational, 4 are operational and expanding, 1 is under construction, 2 are at the land and permitting stage and 7 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Ulanqab, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

Kuaishou has 2 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Kuaishou Horinger Computing Centre (快手和林格尔新区算力项目) and Kuaishou Intelligent Cloud Ulanqab Data Center. It sits on the Kuaishou Ulanqab campus alongside Kuaishou Intelligent Cloud Ulanqab Data Center. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as at the land and permitting stage on 16 August 2026.

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 17 August 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
