Ask HN: How does your global site handle China?

by eemil on 3/5/25, 10:25 AM with 4 comments

Assuming you've decided to deal with the ICP filings and other quirks of the Chinese Internet, how does your global website serve users on a technical level?

Do you have a separate .cn version hosted in China?

Are you using a specialized CDN like CloudFlare China Network?

Are you using a GeoDNS service with servers in China?

Something else?

Why do you start by assuming ICP registration? The Great Firewall is a denylist. Some technical choices you can make will involve working with Chinese companies that legally require you to file the paperwork, but by default, you can just do nothing and your global site will be available in China.
