How to Create an AWS Account in China

AWS China is independently operated and transacted by two local partners: Sinnet and NWCD. AWS services are running in 2 regions in China, such as Beijing and Ningxia. The Beijing region is operated by Sinnet, and the Ningxia region is operated by NWCD.

There is no direct connection between AWS Global and AWS China. So, we can say that AWS China has no direct access or connectivity with other AWS regions outside of China. An account created for AWS global regions cannot be accessed by AWS China regions. Similarly, accounts created for both regions within China cannot work for AWS global services. So in this regard, customers who want to use both regions in China are required to make separate account credentials to get the services.
