Lightning Talk: My Web Application Goes to China!
summary
Launch checklist of concrete surprises and fixes rather than vague localization: Chinese script breaks name input and lacks italic fonts so emphasize with color and size not bold, social logins like Google or Facebook are banned so integrate Baidu ~1 billion users and Youku ~0.5 billion users as auth/share channels, payments require local providers—Alipay handles >50% of online payments, and network latency plus the Great Firewall means use China CDN or place servers via Tokyo not Singapore because submarine routes and filtering slow cross‑border traffic.
