Or the have fewer but larger.
Or as another user pointed out: The source might be questionable to use as valid data globally.

Could be fewer but larger. China likes megastructures. Could just be that their compute power is much more heavily consolidated.

Yeah, same, I found it a bit surprising they have fewer than Germany

They also may be much larger data centers than in other countries. This source is just a total count of individual data centers.

If you follow the source trail it lists Cloudscene as the source, who seem to be some marketplace for buying and selling cloud services. I highly suspect it’s a count of the data centers they have listed by their sellers, which would bias the US and explain why there are so few for China.
