China Plans $295 Billion AI Data Center Investment Over Five Years, Targets 80% Domestic Chip Supply

According to Bloomberg, on June 9, China plans to invest approximately 2 trillion yuan ($295 billion) over the next five years to build an interconnected nationwide AI data center network led by the National Development and Reform Commission. State-owned enterprises including China Mobile and China Telecom will operate most data centers. The investment aims to source over 80% of related technologies, including AI chips, from domestic suppliers such as Huawei, reducing reliance on Nvidia and AMD. Financing will primarily come from sovereign debt, including ultra-long-term government bonds exceeding 10-year maturity, supplemented by national strategic industry investment funds, bank loans, and private capital. The 2 trillion yuan investment excludes spending by private enterprises like Alibaba and Tencent. The project, part of China's broader six-network infrastructure initiative, is expected to integrate data centers into a unified computing network by 2028, coordinated with power grid construction, with total investment potentially reaching 5 trillion yuan.
