As more Chinese companies choose to stack data centers in a lesser-known city in Northern China, seeking cheaper land, electricity and cooler climate, Chinese industry experts said on Friday that the country's institutional advantages in developing AI are being fully demonstrated, providing solid support for an emerging industry that is continuously promoting welfare globally as an international public good.
China's green technology company Envision Group announced that its Envision Galaxy Campus - a large-scale AI data center (AIDC) - in Ulanqab officially entered operation on Thursday. It is also the single AIDC with the largest token output capacity in the world, Chinese green technology company Envision Group said in a statement sent to the Global Times on Friday.
Envision Group said its Envision Galaxy Campus in Ulanqab, with a planned total capacity of 2 gigawatts, integrates renewable energy, intelligent power management and high-density computing at unprecedented scale.
Envision is not the only Chinese company interested in building an AI data center in Ulanqab.
Recently, Chinese AI start-up DeepSeek posted a job opening for a senior data center operations and maintenance engineer, listing "Ulanqab" as the work location, which analysts said "hinted at a new data center of DeepSeek."
A recent report by Bloomberg also indicated that DeepSeek is also planning a massive AI data center there, citing people familiar with the matter. The report describes the project as "an ambitious move" in computing infrastructure from the start-up that's shown it can compete with the leading AI models of Silicon Valley.
DeepSeek is looking to add 1 gigawatt worth of compute in Ulanqab, about 350 kilometers northwest of Beijing, the report said. The announced and planned AI data centers are the latest addition to more than a dozen firms that have projects planned in the city.
Chinese experts said that these data centers located in Ulanqab, with its cool and dry climate, enjoy a natural advantage in heat dissipation that accounts for a major part of a data center's maintenance. But it is more than that. The city's status as a massive producer of clean energy as well as a hub of China's national computing power network, and a national development blueprint that goes back for years, are behind the companies' decisions, and these factors together are a vivid display of China's institutional advantage.
Unique advantage
Envision told the Global Times that its Envision Galaxy Campus features an area of 120,000 square meters, roughly equivalent to 20 standard football fields, and supports the computing capacity for 1 million graphics processing units (GPUs) in parallel, making it the AIDC with the highest token output capacity globally and setting a new benchmark for compute density in AI infrastructure.
With a purposely built proprietary AI Power System that enables stable, high-efficiency power transmission and energy storage just like a "power expressway and electricity granary", the facility can deliver up to ten times compute output per square meter more than conventional data centers.
Explaining why Ulanqab was chosen as the facility site, Envision said the city is one of the eight digital infrastructure hubs of the national "east data, west computing" project, allowing the center to have minimal latency for online computing tasks - a required feature as the number of GPUs multiplies at AI clusters.
Some 67 percent of the area's electricity is generated from wind and solar, making the base an ideal place to tap green energy, the company noted, adding that it aims to develop 5 gigawatts of green AIDC capacity in desert and arid regions worldwide by 2030.
"Light travels at roughly 300,000 kilometers per second. But when it comes to supercomputing, latency becomes a matter so the physical distance between computing demand and computing capacity becomes a factor to be considered," Ma Jihua, a veteran technology industry analyst, told the Global Times on Friday.
"The AI computing clusters will effectively serve demand generated in Northern China, particular the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, where the digital economy is growing fast," Ma said.
Tian Feng, former dean of SenseTime's Intelligence Industry Research Institute, said that companies' selection of Ulanqab is more than a simple geographic location balancing - it is an act that reflects the underlying shift in companies' site-selection logic, as the compute paradigms shift from storage to training and inference.
To support the synchronous training of a cluster equipped with as much as one million GPUs, Envision needs to build its own wind farms and dedicated transmission lines; this is not merely a matter of "finding a cool spot to house server racks" but rather integrating power system engineering directly into the AI compute infrastructure, Tian told the Global Times on Friday.
"Data centers in the storage era have been passive consumers of the power grid. Now, in the AI training era, they require the grid to be custom-designed for them," Tian said. "This way, the energy company can lock electricity costs at its AI centers within a controllable range, giving it teeth for competition in the upcoming token economy era."
As the next frontier of AI is infrastructure, the cost of computing becomes a company's core competitiveness, Tian said.
By tapping rich renewable energy sources and direct power transmission from wind farm to data center, the electricity price at data centers in Hohhot, provincial capital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and home to another data center cluster, is only one third of that in Beijing, domestic news portal bjnews.com.cn reported in June.
The unfolding story around Ulanqab also highlighted China's institutional strengths.
"The government drew up a plan, laid down the backbone of a national computing power network, and private-sectors companies followed up with their own investment, forming a self-reinforcing positive loop," Ma said.
To underpin AI growth, China's Government Work Report this year unveiled plans to launch new infrastructure projects focused on hyperscale intelligent computing clusters, alongside the coordinated development of computing capacity and power supply, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
Meanwhile, China's robust clean energy infrastructure and aggressive expansion plans for the upcoming five-year cycle are also poised to secure the critical power supply needed to meet the energy-intensive demands of AI computing.
The National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planner, said computing power network construction during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30) will lead to new direct investment of 4 trillion yuan ($592.68 billion), citing estimates by relevant institutions, the Securities Times reported on July 31.
Statistics show that by the first quarter of 2025, the total computing power of the eight data computing hubs of the "east data, west computing" project had reached 215.5 EFLOPS, with intelligent computing power accounting for 80.8 percent, according to Xinhua.
Computing power benefiting world
Yin Hejun, minister of Science and Technology, termed AI, robotics and innovative drugs as China's "new new three" at a recent policy briefing.
Ma said the expanding buildup of Chinese AI infrastructure reflects the strong growth of China's AI-related industries, which have emerged as new drivers of China's export growth, representing China's new core strategic industries and fresh economic growth engines.
As China's AI computing power grows, the country will be more well positioned to handle global demand, as it becomes the world's "token factory" by capitalizing on its energy strengths, Ma noted.
As China's technology exports now extend to digital services, with companies increasingly providing AI algorithms, cloud computing, and digital solutions to overseas markets, analysts said the competitively priced compute power from China will serve the world as an international public good in the emerging "token economy."
"In the future, computing clusters in Northern China will be ideal for handling computing needs generated from the Central Asian and Northeast Asian markets, due to its geographic proximity," Ma said.
Although some Western media outlets have recently targeted China's cost-effective AI products with a flurry of far-fetched skepticism in a bid to curb the growth of China's AI industry, Chinese AI products are already benefiting the world, analysts and industry insiders said.
For instance, Chinese AI company iFLYTEK said that its AI-powered intelligent teaching system has helped expand Chinese language learning worldwide and supported the digital development of Chinese education in overseas markets. The AI-powered intelligent Chinese teaching system has greatly expanded students' practice opportunities: On average, learners now speak Chinese 12 times per session, compared with only twice in regular classes at a Thai school, the company said.
As China embraces the concept of technology for good and inclusive AI to be shared by the whole of mankind, more people in the world will benefit from this trend, analysts noted.
。 James Shaw本周宣布将辞职，绿党将有一个联合党魁的职位空缺。 Advertise with us 无论谁担任这一职位，都将与另一位联合党魁Marama Davidson密切合作。 Swarbrick今早在国会宣布参选。 “我是一名自豪的绿党成员。我们比任何其他政党都更明白，社区中存在的领导力远远超过所谓的权力大厅。我在这里是为了服务我的社区。” “在过去的三天里，他们要求我站出来，争取这个职位。” “如果成为联合党魁，我想告诉这个国家的每一个人，他们拥有可以选择我们未来的力量。” 1News昨天报道了Swarbrick有望竞选该职位。 此前，她一直在与党团会议的同事和朋友讨论她是否应该参加竞选。 “毫无疑问，我从来没有渴望过这样的东西，我真正坚持的理念比任何一个人都重要。所以我更关注党派，而不是我自己。”Swarbrick周三说。 该职位的提名将于2月14日截止，新的联合党魁预计将于3月10日宣布。 Swarbrick说：“传统的、渐进式的政治已经无法应对我们面临的挑战——那些交织在一起的气候、不平等、生物多样性和住房危机。我们不能把政治交给政客。” “接下来的几个星期里，我将与绿党成员讨论我对未来行动的愿景，并请求他们信任我。
C | ” “如果我当选，我将与Marama Davidson共同努力，我将推动绿党的行动，实现切实的、现实的、以人为本的变革——就像我一直以来所做的那样——但现在，规模更大。
D | ” Swarbrick还抨击了政府的“残酷议程”，并表示她将致力于实现“我们国家的第一个由绿党主导的政府”。
E | 还有谁可能参加竞选？ Swarbrick将是最突出的竞争者，她目前在绿党名单上排名第三，但她可能面临竞争。 上次大选中排名第五的议员Teanau Tuiono，曾在两年前公开表示考虑竞选党魁职务。 Julie Anne Genter也可能参加竞选，她是党团会议中任职时间最长的议员。 另一位知名的国会议员Ricardo Menéndez March表示，他不打算报名竞选。 工党党魁Chris Hipkins说，下一任联合党魁是绿党的事，但当被追问时，他说他认为“很可能”是Swarbrick。 联合党魁如何产生？ 绿党成员将在提名结束后的地方会议上投票选出他们喜欢的候选人。 每个分会有权获得一定数量的选票，与该地区的成员数量成比例。 过去，绿党要求一位联合党魁是男性，另一位是女性，但这在2022年改变了。 现在，对联合党魁的要求是，其中必须有一名女性，另一位可以是任何性别。 该党还规定，必须有一位联合党魁是毛利人。Marama Davidson同时满足了这两个要求。 3月10日之后，无论谁得到该职位，每年都将面临考验，绿党的联合党魁在每年的年度大会上选举产生。 相关阅读： 突发！James Shaw将辞去绿党联合党魁一职 注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。 chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有 (责编：Sophie) 相关内容 奥克兰海啸疏散地图最新版发布！这些地方风险最大！ 深夜开着偷来的汽车高速逃逸，五名奥克兰青少年被拘留 秋意突袭，本周末全国湿冷多风，但是，夏天远没有过去…… 新年首月道路死亡人数创记录，考驾照要加大难度？ 前绿党议员涉嫌偷走近10000纽币商品，最高可判7年监禁 奥克兰高温警报！全国部分地区迎来热浪 今晨北岛发生致命车祸，至少两人死亡 新西兰中小学迎来巨变！美情报官员在惠灵顿秘密开会……。
