China is ramping up control over its AI infrastructure, informing tech giants like Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, and ByteDance that new regulations will govern where and how AI data centers operate, according to The Information.

Authorities are pushing companies to build centers in state-approved locations for greater oversight, and all AI-generated content must be clearly labeled by September 1, 2025. The rules aim to boost security, sustainability, and public trust, as Beijing races to close the AI gap with the U.S. following chip export restrictions.

While compliance costs may rise, the move signals long-term government backing for AI—on China’s terms.
