China Mobile Chairman Chen Zhongyue said at the 2026 Mobile Network Conference on Nov. 6 that computing power will account for the largest share of the company’s capital expenditure in 2026. China Mobile broke ground on three gigawatt-scale computing parks this year and expects to deliver 1.5 gigawatts of capacity. It plans to add two more gigawatt-scale data parks next year, bringing the total to seven. The company has deployed multiple 10,000-card intelligent computing clusters, while its computing capacity is expected to double for two consecutive years. By 2027, China Mobile plans to raise total procurement spending above 500 billion yuan, including more than 100 billion yuan for computing power investment. It currently operates six overseas data centers.
