Hi Anton
Yes,
API proxies exposed in the Apigee Edge SaaS service are available on the internet. This means if you have a client app that is connecting from anywhere that can reach the internet - your home wifi, your corporate network, a wifi at your local library... the client app will be able to connect.
Client apps that connect from within China are no different - they can connect to API endpoints hosted in Apigee Edge SaaS.
You may be asking the question because you are aware that the Chinese government maintains an active and extensive management regime for internet access. Not all clients in China can access all internet-hosted sites. If you are not familiar, see this Wikipedia article for some background.
But, Chinese censorship of the internet mostly focuses on restricting access to user-centric websites, discussion forums, social media sites, and sites with content relating to sensitive topics.
Assuming your APIs don't deal with any of those, then you *should be* safe.
On the other hand, sometimes China restricts access to domains for other reasons. For example they may ban a site because the company has run afoul of a Chinese business regulation.
But those restrictions are introduced based on business and political issues. There is no technical reason a client app running in China could not connect with an API proxy hosted in Apigee Edge SaaS.
Apigee Edge allows enterprise customers to specify the geography in which their API proxies run. So you could choose Singapore or Tokyo to get somewhat close, on the network, to Chinese clients. Contact your sales rep to arrange this.
