Mapped China-ready candidates
Self-hosted WordPress on Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, or similar mainland hosting with ICP filing is often the most direct path — WordPress software itself is not blocked, but overseas WordPress.com / plugin CDN paths are unreliable.
PageAdmin is a domestic CMS commonly used for government, education, and Xinchuang site clusters when WordPress plugin ecosystems and overseas updates are a liability.
Baklib is a China SaaS knowledge-base / help-center / content-portal path for teams that used WordPress mainly for docs portals rather than marketing sites.
It depends on hosting. Chinaready labels WordPress as Limited for typical overseas WordPress.com / CDN setups. Self-hosted WordPress on mainland cloud with ICP can work; WordPress.com and overseas plugin CDNs usually do not.
Chinaready currently lists: Self-hosted WordPress on China cloud, PageAdmin, Baklib. Many teams keep WordPress but move hosting onshore; others switch to PageAdmin or Baklib.
Public websites on mainland China hosting generally require ICP filing (and sometimes additional licenses by content type). Confirm with your hosting provider and counsel before launch.
Decide keep-vs-replace, then validate ICP, CDN, and plugin update strategy. Book a call with Chinaready if the hosting path is unclear.
