Any plan to expand data center in China? I understand it is more troublesome due to tons of local regulation and etc, but its a too big of a market to ignore. Not to mention there aren’t many good hosting companies in China. The Singapore data center is closer but still outside of the great firewall of China. Amazon has already entered China with AWS.

Just to add to this, if DO will be sharing any userdata, personal information, or will change any thing just because china and their dictators require them to see everything their “users” does, I’ll move my companys activities to Vultr etc.
+1 for data center in China. Singapore server has latency around 40ms to Beijing.
