Summary
According to RFI, Tencent has signed a data center lease agreement with Oracle, giving it access to the compute power of roughly 100,000 cutting-edge AI chips. The move suggests Chinese tech giants are securing advanced AI compute through overseas leasing arrangements, potentially circumventing chip export restrictions.
Bubble analysis
This deal is a real purchase of compute, showing that demand for AI chips and data center capacity remains strong — which cuts against the idea of a bursting bubble. At the same time, it reflects continued rapid expansion of compute spending, and whether such heavy investment will translate into matching revenue is exactly the core of the bubble debate.
