We've had our own "Intranet" for many services. Its error message usually looks like "Sorry, you can't load this Netflix/Hulu/Pandora/Spotify/Amazon/HBO content outside of the United States." And now there's many sites with error messages like "Sorry, but the GDPR is, like, hard, so you can't access our site outside the US."

As if AliExpress.com is non-exist outside China?

Many non-China websites are blocked in China.

Yet Chinese websites serves globally.

Think about it.

So it's an extranet then.

It's an Intranet for Chinese users, and western Webmasters.

I wonder how much non-US sites and services an average American use daily?

Much more than they think, there's a lot of big IT companies in Europe as well, they just generally work more behind the scenes.

Underrated comment.
