## Resource

China is building a new generation of greener data centers in Xizang Autonomous Region. Using the region's cold climate and clean energy resources, these projects aim to reduce the carbon cost of powering AI. Can high-altitude computing reshape the climate footprint of the digital age? We talk to Zha Daojiong, Professor of International Political Economy at the School of International Studies at Peking University, and Lin Boqiang, Dean of the China Institute for Studies in Energy Policy at Xiamen University.
