A comment on AWS Asia Pacific (Mumbai) Region. Parent comment

Anyone know what the AWS China pricing is like? There does not seem to be anything on the web sites for S3 or EC2. None of the calculator sites seems to have China in their list.

And maybe its time for the Asia region to be broken away from Pacific (but keep both). Mumbai associated with Pacific introduces dissonance.

May be related: if hosting in China, you need an ICP license. Can't just open a shop or instance (in general... if Amazon have a way of getting around this, would be interesting).

Basically, while you can power-up a server in a datacenter, it shouldn't be accessed publicly via DNS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICP_license

The commercial/business sense of the term Asia-Pacific almost always include India; so the dissonance argument isn't really valid.

I have been there but unfortunately no pricing info under EC2 or S3. Checked the product details link and FAQ links. Nothing.
