China’s AI Infrastructure Surge: How PRC Data Centers and PRC AI Models Bridge Military Ambitions and Global Connections
A sweeping new report from Strider and the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) reveals how the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is leveraging PRC AI infrastructure to drive its global ambitions—accelerating influence across both commercial industries and military operations.
As China races to deploy 105 EFLOPS of AI computing power by 2025, the country is building out a national network of over 250 AI data centers and investing heavily in software, algorithms, and overseas expansion. This report exposes the scope, scale, and strategic implications of that campaign.
Key Points:
- See how China AI investments are reshaping global power dynamics. Explore how the PRC’s AI infrastructure—spanning data centers, compute policies, and dual-use algorithms—supports civil-military fusion and international influence.
- Learn about the 856 identified organizations—many with ties to the PLA, sanctioned entities, and defense contractors—driving China’s AI development.
- Investigate case studies of high-impact AI projects. From underwater data centers to AI-driven combat simulations, learn how PRC innovation translates to national security risk.
