Looks like the China question has been asked a few times, but there doesn’t appear to have been a definitive answer. I’ve done business in China, and have had to navigate the “[great firewall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall)” in the past. Whilst I can’t give a definitive answer, I can make some educated guesses based on experience. - China blocks most (if not all) Google services. This means that Gmail authentication almost certainly _won’t_ work. - China also blocks many other non-China domains. It’s important to note that (AFAIK) there is no direct communication between Glide app clients and Google Sheets. The data flow with Glide looks like: - End User (client) \<----\> Glide Servers \<-----\> Google Sheets So in theory, as long as the Glide servers are not blocked/filtered in China, then Glide apps _should_ work. This should be the same whether you are using Google Sheets or Glide Tables. The best way to find out is to try it. @Hsu_Mark are you in China? If you are, have you tried it? What was the result? Edit: I should make it clear that the above speculation refers to _using_ Glide apps in China. If you want to _build_ Glide apps in China, that’s a different story. Given that the only way to log into the builder is via a Google account, then I would expect that it’s not possible to _build_ Glide Apps in China (unless you want to start messing with VPN’s - which would be risky). Some past posts on this topic: > [@I want to be able to see it in China](https://community.glideapps.com/t/i-want-to-be-able-to-see-it-in-china/5016): > > Hello. I have also created some apps using this wonderful APP. I have an idea to distribute an app for China, but Glide is not a Chinese server at the moment, so it will not work. China is a huge market for APP. I have a China server, do you have any good ideas for distribution to China? Sorry for the dirty English. Thank you.
