Analyst note
AGGREGATE CAVEAT: the >115,000 Nvidia H100/H200 figure covers 39 data center projects approved in Q4 2024 across Xinjiang and Qinghai, per Bloomberg's review of filings — not one site. Bloomberg reports roughly 70% of planned compute is concentrated in this single government-backed complex near Yiwu (implying ~80k chips), powered by wind, solar and coal with free-electricity incentives. Chip sourcing path unverified; construction/tenders underway on 7 of 39 projects as of mid-2025.
Physical work is under way and the evidence includes a primary source.
