Maybe you were primarily trying to access services outside of China?

Within China things can be decently fast and low latency - from what I hear - and it is a large place with a lot of compute infrastructure.

You have to treat it as its own world. Where on the outside, all we see is the chaos and interruption of a hurricane, but there is a center that is harder to see where people go about their daily lives and have decent amenities and ux.



Extra complex because the major networks don’t peer with each other very well so you end up having to have PoPs on Telecom, Unicom, and China Mobile.
