Cloudflare China Network
Delivering content quickly and securely to users in Mainland China requires infrastructure within China itself. Traffic routed through servers outside the country faces significant latency and reliability issues due to China's network boundaries.
The Cloudflare China Network ↗ solves this by running selected Cloudflare performance and security products on data centers located in Mainland China, operated by Cloudflare's partner JD Cloud. The data centers cover most populated regions in China.
You can use the same configurations and dashboard experience that you use with Cloudflare everywhere else in the world.
