Does Netlify Work in China? Two Gates — Performance and the ICP Filing
Netlify is an excellent global host and edge network, with no node inside mainland China.

Heroku runs no region inside mainland China — its Common Runtime is the US and Europe, its Private Spaces a fixed set of offshore AWS regions — so a China-facing Heroku app is served offshore with no ICP-filing footing, and your users' personal data lands outside the mainland under PIPL. A compliance-first look at the two doors.

Whether Adobe Experience Manager works in mainland China is a compliance question before a performance one. As a Cloud Service, AEM is Adobe-operated and, in Adobe's own words, delivered from outside China — so a China-facing site is a PIPL cross-border transfer with no ICP footing of its own; host AEM inside China and data residency is reachable, but the ICP filing and residency duties become yours. A compliance-first, door-by-door guide in Adobe's own words and China's own law.
