Reuters quoted two unnamed sources familiar with the matter on November 5, saying that in recent weeks, Chinese regulatory authorities have ordered data centers with construction progress below 30% to remove all foreign-made chips that have been installed, or cancel their procurement plans; for projects with more advanced construction, they will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. This move could be one of the toughest actions taken by China in the critical infrastructure sector to eliminate foreign technology and achieve self-sufficiency in AI chips.
The sources said it is unclear whether this guidance applies nationwide or only to certain provinces. The informed sources also did not reveal the specific regulatory authority that issued the order.
