The new China Datacenter Model counts 1,000+ facilities across 60+ operators, about 20GW in the pipeline and 30GW more announced, with ByteDance leasing about a fifth of delivered capacity. Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu spent $20B combined in 2Q26, double a year prior, and all three posted negative free cash flow in the same quarter. A 100MW build now takes 12 months, down from 18, and permitting runs 3-6 months against 12-13 in the US. That permitting gap is the constraint on how fast US capacity can answer.
