  • China Plans $295 Billion AI Data Center Network Amid Global Tech Stocks Drop
    June 9, 2026, 2:46 PM EDT. China is reportedly planning to invest around $295 billion over five years to establish a nationwide data center network dedicated to AI, aiming to reduce reliance on US technology by prioritizing domestic suppliers like Huawei. The initiative involves state-owned telecoms managing the infrastructure and seeks to unify fragmented data centers into a national system by 2028. This comes as chip stocks and major tech shares plunged, dragging down the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indexes. China's AI sector now includes over 6,200 companies with a market worth $177 billion. The plan may be funded through sovereign debt and state-backed funds, highlighting Beijing's strategic commitment to AI infrastructure despite slower economic growth.
