Why Migrate to Ali Cloud

Regulatory
Compliance

The regulatory environment concerning data sovereignty in China exhibits a dynamic and ever-changing nature. Regulatory frameworks such as the Cybersecurity Law (CSL), the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), and the Data Security Law (DSL) impose significant constraints, prescribing how data should be handled and specifying the necessary authorizations required when processing or storing relevant information overseas. Therefore, to comply with these laws and regulations, many companies opt to store consumer data within China and deploy their infrastructure domestically.


Unique Market Dynamics

In China, the way businesses interact with customers differs significantly from other regions. The Chinese "super apps" - integrating multiple standalone functions into a unified user experience - have transformed the way brands engage with customers. Through real-time one-on-one communication, marketing and customer service personnel can deliver unique shopping and interactive experiences to customers.


Performance

China faces unique internet challenges, where cross-regional access can significantly impact round-trip response times. Customers expect swift responsiveness from applications and services, prompting businesses to contemplate optimal strategies to mitigate this effect and ensure the best experience for their clientele in China.
