Will it get built?Built7 of 7 gates passed
✓ Land secured✓ Power arranged✓ Approvals granted✓ Money committed✓ Tenant or own use✓ Builder appointed✓ Construction started

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

Zhongwei holds 18 active projects with 3,558 MW of planned IT load between them, and China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Park B ranks 5th by planned capacity. Of those, 5 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding, 3 are under construction, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 2 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Zhongwei, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

China Mobile has 11 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including China Mobile (Gansu Qingyang) Data Center, China Mobile Hohhot Data Center and China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Xuanhe Park. It sits on the China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center campus alongside China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Park A and China Mobile Zhongwei Data Center, Xuanhe Park. The named user of the compute is Alibaba (reported, unconfirmed).

The stage was recorded as operational on 30 May 2026. The money on record is CN¥6.15bn as of May 2026, the announced investment. Power comes from China Mobile Ningxia (substation owner); fed from the Datang 330kV booster station through a dedicated substation at 110 kV. Cooling uses evaporative 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 11 public sources for this project, the latest dated 2 September 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.
