To answer your question, Google Compute Engine (GCE) should be accessible from Mainland China. Have you experienced any difficulty accessing GCE from inside China?

Recently i sent an email to Google Cloud Platform asking for availability of Google Cloud Platform from China Mainland and my answer for this is no. At first i thougth GCE is part of GCP, but it seems nope. Is it possible to clarify this for me on the difference of GCP and GCE?

Thank you

Hello Lee,

GCP stands for Google Cloud Platform which is a set of modular cloud-based services that allow you to create anything from simple websites to complex applications. Google Compute Engine (GCE) is the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) component of Google Cloud Platform which delivers virtual machines running in Google's data centers and worldwide fiber network.

I hope this short answer helps. For more information, please don't hesitate to visit the links that I embedded in my answer.

Sincerely,
