China Builds Over 70 Computing Corridors Around Hubs by End of June

The corridor build-out is best read as infrastructure positioning ahead of demand rather than a response to it: the state is laying compute capacity around designated hubs, with the accompanying investment data showing where capital is actually flowing. The 42% jump in internet and related services tied to the "six networks" stands out against the mid-teens growth in transport and power, signalling that digital backbone spending is outpacing traditional infrastructure. What matters next is whether utilisation and private demand keep pace with the build.
