You may also want to ask why Inception Hosting does not accept orders from China. Similar reason (s)
Please note that we are not currently accepting orders from China due to an increase of Fraud, abuse and several of our IP's being blocked on the GFW. This is something that we're working on and we should have a solution soon.
20% of all Accepted orders from China result in chargebacks/disputes
60% of order attempts from China are using false billing details and/or Proxy services to order.
30% of all Accepted orders from China breach our TOS causing Abuse reports, DMCA takedowns and other manual cleanup tasks.
This really isn't profitable for us, in fact during the times we have had large amounts of orders from this region we have made a net loss.
It is very unlikely that we will accept our standard orders from China again although we are looking at the feasibility of setting up a sister company aimed specifically at this region however we will not be accepting any forms of reversible payments and we will NOT be offering these services from UK based nodes.
We hate having this blanket ban in place. It is simply unfair for our clients that reside in China however at this time we simply have no choice.
We also have the issue of clients in China consistently attempting to order when their first order has been marked as fraud, in some cases placing up to 60 fraudulent orders. This burns through stock levels preventing genuine clients from ordering services.
We're working on it, we will offer some form of services in China next year but right now due to the amount of chargebacks and abuse it is simply not profitable for us.
I'm really sorry about this, its not a ban that I wanted to impose and as soon as I have news around our solution I will make sure everyone is updated.

As far as I know the abuse of chargebacks is only for some people, like one bad guy in one place, you can't catch everyone, it's not fair
I am currently traveling in mostly remote areas until sometime in April 2024. Consequently DM's sent to me will go unanswered during this time.

p.s: Would be helpful also to understand why so much heartburn for a hosting plan that costs less than 5 US dollars (or 10 for that matter)?
And if the plan is SO important, is changing country an option ?

You may not know that Chinese people need a proxy to go to Google, because the national firewall blocks google, ins, and other websites and applications, so that Chinese people need vpn encrypted connections when they go out, so the cheaper the vps, the better. , most people just use it for vpn, traffic, and cpu usage are basically very small, as for those who abuse it, it should be used for digging or pt, etc.

Too many people don't play by the rules. You have a dispute, you work with the providers first. And don't expect providers will respond to you immediately. You didn't pay their salary.
Paypal dispute only as a last resort for example the provider had not responded for a week or it is well known the provider has deadpooled.

When you start charging services (i.e. NAT VPS's) at $2-$3/year, it starts becoming not worth it to deal with disputes since it takes a lot of time and PayPal/Stripe sometimes charges $15+ dispute fees.
Most disputes come out of China, so it's easier to ban the entire country than to have to deal with the disputes.

Please don't bring this fake drama to LES, or the posts will start getting flagged. OP asked why a particular provider had a policy, and that has been answered by the provider themselves.
MJJs would be heartburn for 35cny as this represents a decent meal.
Those who don't feel heartburn for 35cny, are not MJJs.
It's also fairly easy to pay 200 RMB for a burger in Shanghai. Salaries in Shanghai for Chinese people can also be as low as 1000 RMB per month or well over 90000 RMB per month. I do agree that the median is more around 10000 RMB though.
I'm not really sure what your point is though. The cost of a foreign VPS per month costs more than an average meal. OK, so if you're in the situation where buying a meal for 35 RMB is a big expense to you, don't get a foreign VPS. If you're in the situation where you can buy a 200 RMB burger and barely even notice the cost, get a foreign VPS.
"Can I afford it?" and "Is it worth this much to me?" are the same decisions you'd make in any country.
