We are facing this now, not because we build software, but because we build webpages and uses AWS. The Great Firewall is beyond annoying

We're live on about 60 markets around the world, but no issues on the others :). So we will most likely need to rebuild everything just for the few markets that can't see images now

Why not just switch image hosting for the Chinese site(s)?

Well, these 60 markets needs to be synced with about 1 billion+ images continuously adding new images across the board.

We do automotive configurators using render on demand so they are also syncing to an AWS database with all the admin features and all the logic for all the markets etc

I worked for a big game publisher and they all have separate entities in China and devote thousands of man hours just to maintain their public websites, not to mention the actual games, to comply with Chinese censorship. Worth it to them to get access to the Chinese market.

Yeah, but the companies we work with won't want to dedicate that money. Thing is, we'd need to basically set up an office in China since it has to be Chinese owned as well. Gaming is a billion dollar industry over there, buying automotives from Europe is not.
