China Builds Liquid-Cooling Infrastructure For AI

Chinese manufacturers are rapidly scaling liquid-cooling production for hyperscale data centers, the South China Morning Post reports, as AI GPUs drive rack power toward and beyond 120 kilowatts. Liquid approaches — direct-to-chip, rear-door exchangers, and immersion — claim up to 3,000× better heat transfer and 30–40% lower cooling energy, enabling higher compute density. The shift carries industrial and geopolitical implications as China targets supply-chain dominance amid US export controls.
