In 2015, Cloudflare launched its performance and security platform across mainland China after overcoming technical, economic, and regulatory challenges. The company partnered with Baidu, a leading Chinese search engine, to provide access to the global network for millions of websites in China. This partnership allowed for significant improvements in website availability and page load times within the country. Additionally, Cloudflare ensured that customer data remained secure and private by implementing strict measures and not sharing any information with governments or other entities.
