ChatGPT is not officially available to users in mainland China.

CONTESTED PARTIAL

1 source for · 1 against
Is it true that ChatGPT is not officially available to users in mainland China?
Partly. One reference lists websites blocked in mainland China under its censorship policy but does not name ChatGPT or OpenAI, while a survey of Chinese university students reports they use ChatGPT and view it positively. Neither source directly settles whether ChatGPT is officially available in mainland China.
