I am a Unity game/simulation developer who works at a non-profit lab at a university in Indiana, USA. We have recently entered an art/tech exhibition in Beijing, China.
The theme of the exhibition is AI. Our proposal was accepted and includes the use of several IBM Cloud services (Speech To Text, Language Translator, and Tone Analyzer). We have had internet-related issues at exhibitions in Beijing before and I have been unable to confirm whether IBM Cloud services are accessible from China.
I know there is a server hub in Tokyo. Can anyone confirm that IBM Cloud (and specifically the aforementioned services) is available from Beijing?
I could not find any information on the IBM Cloud website confirming the accessibility from China. Their "Support" > "Ask the community" links led me to StackOverflow.
David, the Watson services are not available in China.
We are working on adding them to South Korea but there is no eta at this time.
