The Chinese market reprents a unique challenge for non-Chinese companies who want to do business there. If you wish to deliver content within China, including information about goods and services, it is important to understand that content is regulated. The consequences of violating regulations are severe - without a proper license or partnership with a Chinese counterpart, your website can be shut down without any prior warning.

The Great Firewall of China (GFW) is the combination of legislative actions and technologies enforced by the People's Republic of China to regulate the Internet domestically. This represents a huge challenge for companies trying to do business in China, since global Internet traffic entering China is susceptible to IP blocking, DNS filtering and redirection, URL filtering, packet filtering, man-in-the-middle attack, TCP connection reset.

China Internet Landscape - Compliance

In order to do business in China, all foreign companies have to acquire a proper license from Chinese Ministry of Industry and Technology (MIIT). One regulation promulgated by the MIIT is the rule that all Internet Content Providers (ICPs) must register their business with the MIIT.

All domains used to deliver any content into China, including that of foreign companies, must have an ICP license.

If you are unable to qualify for a legally-compliant registration on your own, then you need to seek out a company that can vouch for
your content and help you to avoid bandwidth issues at peak times.
