Why bother? There's no internet in China anyway, whatever hacks you are going to use, the result will be completely random at best and your website working or not there is just a matter of luck. Even the big IT companies can't make it work so why would you?

Poster might refer to the limited availability of certain Internet services from China - but as your numbers show, it's not preventing China from being largest ecommerce market.

As if AliExpress.com is non-exist outside China?

Many non-China websites are blocked in China.

Yet Chinese websites serves globally.

Think about it.

My best best advices are not listed there - Stop using Google CDNs - Stop using Google fonts - Don't put Google Analytics in the header (or don't use it) otherwise will block/delay the browser load the website. Most of the websites just timeout because of those 3 things and make the website imposible to navigate. If you host your website in a normal VPS, without using Google services you will have a quite nice chance…

Google Analytics is OK. It doesn't affect performance very much.

Only if the vanilla analytics product without any adwords or partner scheme options (i.e. coming from google-analytics.com rather than anything coming from Google.com). Plus it could disappear on a whim (as did Bing for a couple of days last month), so unless the use-case is unavoidable, why not self-host?

So it's an extranet then.

It's an Intranet for Chinese users, and western Webmasters.
