China Hosting: The Great Firewall Ecosystem
China's hosting market operates within unique constraints, creating a distinct ecosystem largely isolated from global internet infrastructure. Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Huawei Cloud dominate a market serving the world's largest online population.
Testing Considerations
Our benchmarks test Chinese providers where accessible, measuring server responsiveness and throughput. The Wptr Score reflects measurable performance within testing constraints.
Regulatory Complexity
Operating in China requires ICP licensing and compliance with Chinese internet regulations. For businesses requiring mainland China presence, domestic hosting is mandatory—international providers cannot legally serve Chinese audiences without proper licensing.
The Market Giants
Chinese cloud providers have achieved global-scale operations domestically, with infrastructure rivaling Western hyperscalers. For regional connectivity, consider Hong Kong as an alternative access point.
