Is Sharepoint Blocked in China? I am looking at SharePoint replication with a particular use case for one of my clients where the original SharePoint environment was set up by us in the UK. The client now has a factory in China where staff located there would like access to SharePoint data held in the UK. However due to the Chinese states’ policy of restricting content and connection – commonly known as The Great Firewall – it is frustrating for staff located there to use the UK provision. If there is anyone that can share their experiences from the SharePoint user community – positive or otherwise – it will be greatly appreciated.

Can you use WhatsApp in China? Does WhatsApp work in China? Why WhatsApp is banned in China? Is there any way to help me access WhatsApp perfectly in China?
