SHAOGUAN, China, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from Yangcheng Evening
News:

Hong Kong is Asia’s business capital, but the "guardian" of its computing power 
quietly lies more than 300 kilometers due north. Shaoguan, once a traditional industrial
city, is now the only one among China’s 10 national data center clusters approved
to pilot inbound data processing.

On June 12th, the 5th GBA (Guangdong) Computing Power Industry Conference was held
in Shaoguan. A number of achievements in computing power infrastructure and data
services were released. Construction of the Shenzhen-Guangzhou-Shaoguan Data Corridor
was also launched, as Shaoguan continues to advance its computing power industry
in four key directions: intelligent, green, international, and tokenized development.

Shaoguan is the only data center cluster within the Greater Bay Area (GBA) national
hub node in the integrated nationwide computing power network. It has also been 
tasked with two national-level pilot missions: computing power scheduling and computing
power facility security. Since 2026, Shaoguan has implemented a new model known 
as "processing Hong Kong and Macao data with Shaoguan computing power," enabling
it to provide inbound data processing services for clients in Hong Kong, Macao, 
and overseas. Under this model, offshore data is sent to Shaoguan for processing,
with the results returned through the same channel. Leveraging Hong Kong’s Tseung
Kwan O computing hub, Shaoguan’s computing power can directly serve Southeast Asian
and global markets, including Singapore.

Shaoguan has already built a 400G all-optical high-speed network in the GBA, creating
an ultra-low latency network with 1-millisecond latency within the city and 3-milliseconds
across the GBA. One-way latency between Shaoguan and Guangzhou, as well as between
Shaoguan and Shenzhen, is kept within 2 milliseconds. Once completed, the Shenzhen-
Guangzhou-Shaoguan Data Corridor will reduce network latency by 30%, making it suitable
for low-latency services such as AI foundation models and telemedicine.

As computing power surges, environmental protection remains a top priority. Clean
energy accounts for nearly 60% of Shaoguan’s installed power capacity. With a diversified
and complementary energy mix that includes nuclear power, photovoltaic power, and
wind power, the city is able to ensure a stable supply of green electricity.

To date, Shaoguan has attracted 20 large-scale intelligent computing projects from
companies including Alibaba, Tencent, China Mobile, and China Unicom, with total
investment exceeding 97 billion yuan. Its installed intelligent computing capacity
currently stands at 30,000 petaflops, while signed computing power orders have grown
to 60 times the level recorded during the same period last year. Alibaba’s domestically
developed 10,000-card intelligent computing cluster and Huawei’s commercial intelligent
computing Ascend super node have already been put into operation. By the end of 
2026, Shaoguan’s installed intelligent computing capacity is expected to exceed 
110,000 petaflops.
