I. Four Core Challenges for Global Companies Entering Mainland China in 2025
1. Policy compliance: the continued high pressure of the filing system
Mainland China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) ICP filing requirements for domestic servers (need to provide corporate identity documents, domain name authentication, etc.) were further tightened in 2025, with the audit cycle extended to 30-45 working days.
real-life exampleA European cross-border e-commerce company's application for filing was rejected three times due to non-compliance with the qualification of "medical supplies", resulting in a delay of six months in business.
2. Full escalation of cyberattacks
According to Gartner's prediction, the peak value of DDoS attacks in the Asia-Pacific region will exceed 5Tbps in 2025, and the proportion of CC attacks against API interfaces will reach 67%, and the defence system of traditional CDNs is already showing fatigue.
3. Performance bottlenecks in cross-regional access
Under the unoptimised path, Mumbai→Beijing latency reaches 210ms, and Los Angeles→Shanghai packet loss rate exceeds 8%, which seriously affects real-time interactive services (e.g., cloud gaming, online transactions).
4. Business type compatibility dilemma
Some international CDN service providers have adopted "one-size-fits-all" restrictions on sensitive services such as P2P and cryptocurrency, forcing enterprises to modify their technical architecture.
Second, the solution: record-free direct connection to mainland China's underlying logic
1. Compliance Design for Hong Kong-Mainland Hybrid Architecture
- legal basis: To realise the legal transit of data through the Hong Kong node in accordance with Article 140 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and the Guidelines on Cross-border Data Transmission.
- physical topology::
- Hong Kong Tseung Kwan O Data Centre → Shenzhen Nanshan POP point (physical direct fibre connection, latency <3ms)
- Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu three backbone network access points (BGP intelligent routing)
2. Six-dimensional defence system against future-level attacks
| Defence dimension | Technical realisation | 2025 Upgrade Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| flow cleaning | Distributed Anycast + AI traffic modelling | Single node carrying capacity increased to 800Gbps |
| Protocol Analysis | Quantum Encrypted Tunneling + Zero Trust Authentication | TLS 1.3 handshake time reduced to 100ms |
| behavioural discrimination | Federated Learning-Driven Abnormal Behaviour Detection | False alarm rate reduced to 0.02% |
| hardware protection | FPGA chip-level DDoS protection | 40x faster attack signature matching |
| data security | Homomorphic encrypted cache + SGX trusted execution environment | Edge node data processing delay <5ms |
| Disaster recovery | Cross-regional second switching (Hong Kong/Singapore/Tokyo) | RTO<15 seconds, RPO=0 |
3. Breakthroughs in smart acceleration technology
- Dynamic link optimisation::
Real-time monitoring of 21 backbone routes of the four major operators - Telecom, Unicom, Mobile and Great Wall - and automatic selection of optimal routes based on Markov decision-making models.
real time data: South Africa → Guangzhou video streaming latency reduced from 380ms to 89ms - Edge AI Rendering::
Support Unity/Unreal engine real-time screen pre-rendering, game scene loading speed up 70% - Cost Control Revolution::
Optimising bandwidth scheduling through a space-time prediction algorithm reduces bandwidth cost by 52% for a 4K live streaming platform
III. All-round comparison with international giants (version 2025)
1. Defensive capability limit tests
| service provider | Maximum cleaning capacity | 500Gbps attack recovery time | Advanced WAF Rule Base |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08Host | 5.2 Tbps | 8 minutes, 37 seconds. | 12,000+ articles |
| Cloudflare | 3.8Tbps | 22 minutes, 15 seconds. | 8,500 |
| Akamai | 6.1Tbps | 11 minutes 09 seconds. | Customised charging |
2. Measurement of access quality in mainland China
(Source: January 2025) ThousandEyesGlobal Monitoring Report)
| service provider | Beijing delay | Shanghai Shake | Guangzhou TCP retransmission rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08Host | 39ms | 0.8ms | 0.05% |
| AWS | 73ms | 2.1ms | 0.18% |
| Azure | 81ms | 3.4ms | 0.27% |
3. Cost-benefit analysis (based on 10 TB/month)
| service provider | base rate | Defence surcharge | total costs | price-performance ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 08Host | $0.072/GB | freeware | $720 | 9.8/10 |
| Fastly | $0.11/GB | $0.03/GB | $1,400 | 6.2/10 |
| Gcore | $0.085/GB | $0.015/GB | $1,000 | 7.5/10 |
