The plan calls for dozens of new facilities across the country, each designed to run models on domestically produced hardware. Official documents explicitly mention excluding foreign GPU suppliers, targeting Nvidia in particular.\n\nThe move could reshape the global AI supply chain by creating a parallel ecosystem that relies on Chinese chips. It also raises the cost for multinational hardware firms trying to stay in the Chinese market, and may force AI developers to maintain two separate model stacks.\n\nIf the plan survives political wrangling, it will be another costly attempt to nationalise AI talent, but history suggests technology rarely stays locked behind borders.","[\"china\",\"ai\",\"data-centers\",\"hardware\"]","2026-06-09T10:07:04.000Z","2026-06-09T13:19:56.891Z","2026-06-09T13:21:08.709Z","published",null,[],"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Fchina-drafts-295-bn-plan-for-ai-data-centres-aims-to-exclude-nvidia.webp",[26,27,28,29],"china","ai","data-centers","hardware",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"The Next Web","https:\u002F\u002Fthenextweb.com\u002Fnews\u002Fchina-295-billion-ai-data-centre-plan",0]
