SCID in China

So I will be going for a holiday in Mainland China next month! Yay!!!

But as it so happens, Google and Facebook are blocked there. And so I cannot use them to connect to my farm and my email.

And so my only connection to my farm in China will be via SCID, using a Gmail account. Or so it seems.

When I asked in-game support yesterday, they confidently assured me it will work in China. However, a post made by Nick earlier in April seems to suggests otherwise:

Now I am getting confused, will it or will it not work in China? :confused::confused::confused:

And if not, what other way(s) are there to connect to my farm. I mean, the countless China players must surely have some other way(s) of doing so, right?

I think I can fix you up with someone who knows

I will appreciate it, thank you. :)

From all indications supercell ID should work in China. If I were travelling there, I too would want piece of mind.

someone will have the answer, so please check back. I have sent a private message to a little helper, but it may take a few hours XD

As Tencent has majority shares in SC and it’s a Chinese company and China holds an uneven share of the world’s gaming community I would think it would be a given that you’ll be able to play unimpeded. 😊 But that’s just me thinking logically; I don’t actually know that it will work. It just seems that it should. Good luck.👍

I don’t know if it will work but you can try a proxy from another country

What is the date stamp on that, WW?

and more importantly, what do peeps in China do to keep their accounts safe?

I wonder what's the equivalent of Google Play in China?

Scid is not working in China for past few days. It was working all good uptil few days back. Not sure what regulations have restricted it.

SCID is not supported in China. If it works, I am a bit baffled but if it doesn't it's all ok and how it should be.

Cheers,

Nick

Thank you all for your assistance and inputs. :)

WussyPuss and WW, you are both in a way correct.

SC support emailed me a few hours ago explaining that the SCID only cannot be created in China, and so it is not available only to the residents there. Nick's post above refers to new accounts.

However, if it was created in a country/territory where it is available before leaving for China, it will still continue to work there in China.

Taiwan came as a surprise, considering their government, politics and media are the exact opposites of Mainland China.

Thank you all once again for helping me to find the answers! :)

But now I really do wonder, what system does the folks in China use to run their farms?

Add-on: I will have preferred to post a screenshot of the emails here so that everyone else will have a better idea, and hopefully not get stuck in the same situation, but I understand I am not allowed to do so.

Good to know that you can at least go there connected to supercell ID :thumbsup:
