we use them they work well, and yes Hong Kong is a good place to be, you can get filtered but usually only if you piss people off. If you really are going to do business in china (more than $250k a year) Hire someone, $25k a year and get an office ($6k a year) Give the person a title like "Enterprise Liaison" have them as a phone contact, and email contact. They don't need to do anything except sit there. We hired a beautiful 20 something who also spoke enough English to get through phone calls. This also helps with filling out forms that the Chinese Government likes to send, many of which ask things like "Does your web site express views of the X political party" "Discuss the features of your web site that allow mass communication between users". (and yes beautiful was a factor in hiring her, if you are going to pay someone to fill out 3 forms a year and answer the phone you might as well have them look good enough to put their picture on your website) They send about 3 of these a year. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jon Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 4:29 PM To: Google App Engine Subject: [google-appengine] Re: Reverse Proxy setup to serve users in China What I'm about to suggest may be completely silly as I have zero experience in this sort of stuff, but what about setting up a proxy in Hong Kong? According to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_the_People's_Republic_of _China ) the Great Firewall of China doesn't apply in Hong Kong, and I assume connections from China to Hong Kong aren't interfered with?
