CBS Report: 30,000 Workers Build Inner Mongolia AI Hub as UN Survey Finds 80% of Chinese Back Data Centers

CBS News reports from Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, where ~30,000 workers are building what may be China's largest AI buildout — at roughly one-fifth the cost of US facilities and hosting Huawei, Alibaba, ByteDance, DeepSeek and Baidu capacity. A cited UN survey puts Chinese public support for data-center construction at ~80% with two-thirds of citizens using AI regularly, a sharp contrast with the ~46 blocked or delayed US projects. China now has more than double US power-generation capacity.
