A brand-new industry has emerged and is thriving in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, home to desolate deserts and ancient tomb sites.
In China, a number of services are likely to be supported by the computing power of data centers in Zhongwei city, Ningxia, including videos browsed online, food orders placed by smartphone, online work projects and talking artificial intelligence chatbots. Jin Zhuanglong, minister of industry and information technology, said computing power has become a key productivity tool in the digital economy era, adding that China’s total computing power has reached 197 EFLOPS, placing the nation second in this regard to the United States.
