Chinese technology companies are building large AI data center complexes in rural provinces to use surplus land and energy. Huawei and Tencent are reportedly developing infrastructure in Guizhou under China's “Eastern Data, Western Computing” strategy.
Marvell Technology and Google expanded their chip-development partnership. The agreement includes a warrant allowing Google to purchase up to $12.2 billion worth of Marvell shares.
Relativity Networks has raised $22 million to advance the deployment of hollow-core fiber in data centers. The technology can transmit data 30% faster than conventional fiber, potentially improving connectivity for high-performance computing and AI workloads.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed an executive order making the state more restrictive for AI data centre development. The order removes data centres from the permit fast-track programme, delays environmental review until local approval, and prohibits state agencies from signing non-disclosure agreements on projects.
OpenAI and Meta are seeking help to address growing public opposition to their AI data center plans. The effort highlights the increasing public-relations challenges surrounding large-scale AI infrastructure expansion.

The U.S. government and major AI companies are competing for bond-market capital as federal debt approaches $40 trillion and AI infrastructure financing accelerates. Rising long-term Treasury yields could increase data-center funding costs, pressure AI investment returns, and force a repricing of high-growth technology stocks.
Traders are growing cautious about the financial risks behind the artificial intelligence buildout. Loose fiscal policy and heavy borrowing by major AI infrastructure spenders could keep yields elevated and increase funding pressure.
