- China said its AI compute capacity rose 177% year-over-year to 2,185 eflops by the end of June
- China is targeting 9,800 eflops of AI compute capacity by 2030, backed by roughly $532 billion in IT infrastructure spending that includes deploying AI computing clusters containing 100,000 accelerator cards
Why it matters: China's stated AI compute capacity more than doubled year-over-year to 2,185 eflops by June, with a concrete plan to reach 9,800 eflops by 2030 on roughly $532 billion in IT infrastructure spending — a quantified scale target that directly benchmarks against US chip-export constraints.
