Does Kontent.ai work in China?
Kontent.ai completed two of three attempts from mainland China. Measured fact: from a probe inside mainland China (Alibaba Cloudcn-zhangjiakou), three runs, 2026-08-28, two of three runs finished; one did not complete within 60 seconds, first byte in a median 939ms and paint at 3.1s. For a headless CMS the front-end delivery and the content API are separable decisions — you can serve pages from inside China while the API stays where it is, but then the API round trip is paid on each render, and an intermittently failing API is worse than a consistently slow one.
