Hong Kong is one of the primary data center markets in the APAC region due to its dense connectivity, low tax rates, and proximity to large companies. International companies can face some obstacles when developing in Mainland China. As a special administrative region of the country, Hong Kong acts as a strategic gateway for international companies to interact with China. Many domestic and international cloud providers have made significant investments for large-scale deployments in Hong Kong, including Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.
