Power capacity, hardware inventory, upstream suppliers, and downstream customers for the row owned by China Unicom; any BIS Entity List exposure is walked through the canonical org graph rather than asserted at the facility row.
Capacity, ownership chain, and supply-chain position for China Unicom Zhongwei Data Center, including any export-control exposure that surfaces when the BIS Entity List touches a node above the facility in the chain.
As of 2026-05-22
Operator (or owner of record) per the Scrutica facility row.
Ownership chain not yet documented in the available data (PitchBook affiliate graph, FactSet supply graph, SEC filings, LEI registry; as of 2026-05-22). The chain may extend further once additional ingestion runs complete; absence here reflects coverage at this snapshot, not a documented apex.
Description
China Unicom Zhongwei Data Center in Zhongwei City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Three completed data center buildings; deployed 8,800+ standard racks + 14,000+ GPU chips per Global Times (state-affiliated) reporting 2025-01 quoting deputy manager Yin Xiaohui. Reported as "major transformation from a conventional data center to a modern computing hub" — Wo Cloud GPU infrastructure-bearing site. Ningxia Zhongwei is one of the 8 national Eastern Data Western Compute cluster hubs. China Unicom described as "among the first operators" to establish in Zhongwei per Global Times. China Mobile + China Telecom also operate in Zhongwei but with no operator-specific capacity figures available in fetched primary sources (those facility rows DROPPED for ≥2-corroboration discipline — only China Unicom Zhongwei has the operator-specific 8,800-rack / 14,000-GPU primary disclosure).
Notes
authority_tier=2: facility existence + Zhongwei Ningxia siting + 8,800-rack + 14,000-GPU operational scale anchored to Global Times 2025-01 (state-affiliated primary, quoting China Unicom deputy manager Yin Xiaohui) + China Unicom 2024 AR business overview confirming Ningxia as intelligent-computing build-out location. Per-facility MW capacity NOT disclosed; power_capacity_mw NULL. Lat/lng NULL — Zhongwei city centroid only. Operational date NOT disclosed in fetched sources (only "completed construction of three buildings" status confirmed). total_gpu_count=14000 populated per Global Times primary disclosure of "more than 14,000 GPU chips" — this is a notable Wo Cloud GPU deployment for a SOE carrier facility. China Mobile Zhongwei + China Telecom Zhongwei facilities DROPPED per ≥2-corroboration discipline (cluster-level references exist but no operator-specific facility records meet the bar).

No jurisdictions documented for this chain in the available data — at least one ancestor must carry an HQ country in the canonical organization record for jurisdictional exposure to compute. This section will populate automatically as additional ingestion adds HQ countries to the chain.
No flags found across the chain (BIS Entity List, designation-cascade closures, or compute-threshold reporting obligations) as of 2026-05-22. Cascade closures evaluated: 0.
No ownership-change events documented in the available data for any entity in this chain over the last 5 years. Events draw from PitchBook deal records (M&A, buyout, divestiture, asset sale, JV formation); PitchBook coverage is strongest for private US/EU transactions and partial for state-owned-enterprise restructurings or non-Western private deals. Subsequent ingestion runs may add events here.
No documented sovereign or state-linked LP investment touches any entity in this chain. PitchBook LP-disclosure rate is partial; absence of evidence here is not evidence of absence.
The walk for China Unicom Zhongwei Data Centerstarts at the operator org id (or owner org id when no operator is recorded) and climbs upward through the unified affiliate graph, normalized to trace child-to-parent relationships. At each hop, the highest-authority parent edge wins (priority ordering: SEC EDGAR / 10-K / LEI registry > FactSet Workstation / Revere > Compustat > BIS / Federal Register > PitchBook). Confidence and recency break ties.
The walk terminates on (a) a node with a public-filing-grade ancestor edge — a SEC filer, an LEI-registered listed entity, or a 10-K-disclosed parent — (b) a government entity, (c) a 10-hop limit, or (d) a detected cycle. When termination is not at a public filer or government, the panel labels the chain's end-state as opaque beyond that point. Opacity is reported, never implied.
Per-source confidence (PitchBook): HIGH for Parent / Subsidiary edges; MEDIUM for JV and AFFILIATE edges. Known limitations: (1) shell companies with undisclosed principals terminate the public-record walk; (2) recent transactions reach the panel after PitchBook's weekly refresh; (3) cross-jurisdiction private holding structures may carry intermediate hops that are not in any ingested source. Each row carries an edge-level as of date so freshness is auditable per hop.
Two further caveats are inherent to how the walker and the underlying data compose. The walker selects a single highest-authority parent per hop, so JV or multi-parent ownership structures collapse to one displayed path; alternate parents exist in the ingested sources but are not surfaced on this card. And some PitchBook edges encode parent-of relations against entity-resolved stub IDs whose display name reflects a sub-entity (a business unit, an acquired-then-renamed line) rather than the canonical parent — when a chain reads structurally surprising, the per-row source citation is the authoritative reference, not the chain's narrative shape.
Computed at: 2026-05-22. Walk depth observed: 1 hop. Sources combined: Scrutica facility record + PitchBook affiliate graph + SEC CIK cross-reference + LEI registry + (where applicable) FactSet Revere supply-chain graph + Federal Register designation closures.
