China AI computing capacity expansion

Entities: Guiyang · Industrial robots · National Data Administration (NDA) · China · Jiang Yi

Overview

China continues to scale its AI computing infrastructure while its AI‑related exports accelerate. The Hebei Artificial Intelligence Computing Center in Langfang, now operating at over 95 % capacity, supports more than a thousand enterprises and hundreds of university teams, contributing to the province’s 38 % share of national compute capacity. Nationwide, the NDRC reports smart‑compute power at 2.8 times the 2025 level, driven by a domestic 100,000‑GPU supercluster and eight national hubs delivering 2.4 million PFlops.

In the first half of 2026, Ministry of Commerce official He Shaojun confirmed a sharp export surge: industrial robot shipments rose 18.6 % year‑on‑year and 3D‑printer exports jumped 109.3 % from January to June. The ministry highlighted that this growth reflects China’s strong industrial base, ongoing innovation, a large domestic market and active international cooperation. It pledged continued support for high‑quality foreign trade, deeper integration of Chinese AI industries into global supply chains, and released a paper on “overcapacity” emphasizing that stable, healthy industry development depends on ongoing reforms.
