Comment 5 for bug 1522261

Two points:

1. To both check for and to download updates, my phone should not have to communicate with any server outside China. It's just the reality here. Servers outside China may work from time to time, but if you're providing services to users inside China you have to assume they don't. If Ubuntu can't provide servers inside China, never mind. There's no point investigating something we know won't work. If Ubuntu can and does, then please verify (or give me instructions on how to verify) that the system automatically configures itself to use them.

2. The secondary problem is that the experience is still not good when it's unable to contact the servers. I tried it just now. It spins for a long time and then says "Connect to the Internet to check for updates". I'm connected to 4G right now. There should be a mechanism for sideloading updates from an SD card or something similar, because network failures of all kinds are a fact of life.

So while I think it's interesting if other users in other cities (I'm in Chengdu) are equally affected by this problem, I just want to emphasise that it's not really the core issue I'm pointing to here.
