Pain points for listening to music overseas: platform restrictions + network latency
For overseas Chinese music fans, this anticipation is difficult to translate into actual experience. Digital album copyrights on domestic music platforms are limited to mainland China, and accessing from overseas IP addresses results in messages like "Cannot be purchased in this region" or "Cannot be played in this region." Even if the page opens, songs often fail to load halfway, and the comment section is completely inaccessible.
