Hi Daniel,
Yes there are differences in the features /services available as the Dynamics 365 is not directly operated by Microsoft. It is operated by 21Vianet. Please see below
"Microsoft Dynamics 365 online services operated by 21Vianet is designed to comply with regulatory requirements in China. The services are a physically separated instance of cloud services operated and transacted currently by a local operator, Shanghai Blue Cloud Technology Co., Ltd (“21Vianet”). This is a wholly owned subsidiary of Beijing 21Vianet Broadband Data Center Co., Ltd. located in mainland China.
Microsoft strives to maintain functional parity between our commercially available service and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement - operated by 21Vianet in China. However, there are notable exceptions to this affected by dependent service or partner-solution availability, market priorities, or compliance regulations."
