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

Qingpu-Wujiang-Jiashan holds 6 active projects with 0 MW of planned IT load between them, and Alibaba YRD Intelligent Computing Base (阿里巴巴长三角智能计算基地) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 2 are operational, 3 are operational and expanding and 1 is at the land and permitting stage. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Qingpu-Wujiang-Jiashan, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

Alibaba has 4 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Alibaba Cloud Western Cloud Computing Center and Data Service Base, Alibaba Cloud Ulanqab Data Center and Alibaba Cloud Xuanhua Data Centre (阿里云宣化数据中心). It sits on the Jiashan Economic and Technological Development Zone, Xitang (西塘镇) campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The build is phased. Two buildings delivered and in operation is operational with a 2025 target; Remaining buildings of 10 planned is under construction. The dated record runs from under construction on 13 October 2023 to operational and expanding on 20 July 2025. The money on record is CN¥14.3bn as of October 2023, the announced investment. Power comes from State Grid Jiashan through a dedicated substation at 220 kV (reported, unconfirmed).

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 6 public sources for this project, the latest dated 21 January 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

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.
