@SAMCHEE226 ;

That would have been useful information.

Where did you setup your account?

If you set it up in any Country but China it will not work. I can not use my current account even in Canada let alone in China. Like alot of things even if you use a VPN certain Websites can tell if your using a VPN and still block you from any access then.
