Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google is reportedly in talks with China's Envicool and other regional Chinese firms to secure liquid cooling equipment for its data centers. With supply tight elsewhere, the company is turning to China as the global AI data center boom has tightened supply—not just for advanced chips, but also for critical cooling hardware.
