    China is not on the list of available countries. So as far as I know you will have to run on-prem there

    Thx for the quick reply. Would it be costly to setup a on prem solution both in terms of installation but also maintaining the updates and the personalized developments of the different functions?

    That is not an easy think to answer because that all depends on the complexity of your Business.

    What I have seen some companies do that run businesses both in China and in other countries is to let their user located in China log into a Business Central tenant that is set up in another region where they have operations.

    That might be an option in your case as well.

    Business Central Doesnt need to be in China youn can use Standard Solution as ERP even its online or Premise.Since you can configure Language as Chines PRC. Many Companies in Dubai having operaiton in China are already using it.

    Like aqeel2020uae, I had a similar experience with the environment created as JP or HK (W1 version), but the user was using it in China. Microsoft has added Chinese (Simplified) as early as BC17.2.

    But there is no guarantee that one day you will not be able to access……………

    Thanks fro the reply.

    Is see you can change the language yes, but the questions is:

    Are we able to open the following URL in China and use our Danish/English environment?

    URL: businesscentral.dynamics.com/

    So if we change the language to Chinese PRC, we are then able to use Business central cloud in China?
