China Mobile YRD (Suzhou) Cloud Computing Centre (中国移动长三角(苏州)云计算中心) data center

Suzhou, Jiangsu, China · Qingpu-Wujiang-Jiashan market · location approximate to district level

China Mobile YRD (Suzhou) Cloud Computing Centre (中国移动长三角(苏州)云计算中心) is a data center project in Suzhou, China, operated by China Mobile Jiangsu (中国移动江苏公司). It is operational. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 36,000 racks, with 16,700 in service. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.

Latest change on record: entered the record as operational on 13 June 2022. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.

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 China Mobile YRD (Suzhou) Cloud Computing Centre (中国移动长三角(苏州)云计算中心) 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.

China Mobile has 11 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Park B, China Mobile (Gansu Qingyang) Data Center and China Mobile Hohhot Data Center. It sits on the Fenhu High-tech Zone, Wujiang (汾湖高新区) campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The build is phased. Phase 1, about 5,800 racks is operational; Phase 2, about 10,900 racks is operational with a 2022 target; Phase 3, 20,000 racks is announced. The stage was recorded as operational on 13 June 2022. Cooling uses direct liquid 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 4 public sources for this project, the latest dated 20 July 2024, 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.

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 colocation price applies to this product (retail interconnection, no colocation price applies).

Water and cooling
CoolingDirect liquid cooling · design PUE below 1.25 in the liquid cooled room (below 1.2 per CCTIME) Reported source ↗
A cold plate liquid cooling pilot room, China Mobile's first, went live in March 2024 with servers from Inspur, Fiberhome and ZTE. Rack power rose from 7kW to between 15kW and 20kW. CCTIME (2024-07-12) says the pilot started at end 2023 in room 4 and cut cooling energy by 50 to 60 percent. The rest of the site is not stated as liquid cooled.
