data centers. In recent years the Chinese data centers industry has experienced a strong growth, especially in metropolitan cities of china such as satellite, shanghai and Beijing.

                Hawkins Hua Shanghai based analyst says, “The rigid Internet supervision by the Chinese government has brought the challenge to the attractiveness of the Chinese data center market. Although the markets such as China offers strong potential benefits associated with growth, it also carries a variety of risks associated with investing in a region with a number of different cultural and regulatory environments. For those multinationals not accustomed to that control, Hong Kong would be a more favored site.”

Nicola Hayes Managing Director of DCD Intelligence said, “Although Hong Kong is the most developed data center market in China, Beijing and Shanghai are rapidly establishing themselves as data center hubs. Both cities have overtaken Hong Kong in terms of total available white space.”
