That's a great question, and it's a really important distinction to understand. Many people assume AWS China is just another region, but it's actually a completely separate operation from AWS Global. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences: • They Are Separate Entities: AWS China (operated by Sinnet in Beijing and NWCD in Ningxia) is a distinct legal entity from AWS Global. This separation is due to China's specific regulatory requirements for cloud services. • Separate Accounts and Access: You cannot use your existing global AWS account to log into the China regions. You'll need to create a completely new account specifically for AWS China, often through their local operating partners. • Compliance is Key: To use AWS China for anything beyond internal testing, you typically need to have a registered business entity in China. If you want to host a public website or service, you'll almost certainly need an ICP (Internet Content Provider) license, which can be a complex process. • Service Availability: Not all the services and features you're used to in global regions are available in Beijing and Ningxia. The service catalog is different, and the pace of new service launches may vary. There are also stricter default rules; for instance, common web ports (80/443) are often blocked by the infrastructure providers until you provide the necessary licenses. To directly address your connectivity concern: If your EC2 instance is in a global region (like Singapore or Tokyo), any traffic from a user within China to that instance will cross the Great Firewall (GFW). The GFW is known to scrutinize and sometimes throttle or block international traffic, especially on certain ports. This can lead to significant latency, packet loss, or connection timeouts. In a nutshell: For low-latency and reliable access for users within mainland China, hosting in AWS China is the recommended path, but it comes with administrative and compliance hurdles. Using global regions is easier but introduces the variable of the GFW, which can severely impact performance. I hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you have more questions.
