Chinese network speed is fast and the network is easy to use when we just connect with Chinese mainland network. Recently, I bought a new phone which was Android System. But when I wanted download a BBC news APK, I couldn’t find it in the Android application market. The reason why the APK couldn’t be found was the IP limited by network service company. If I use VPN, the connecting speed is still extremely slow. Finally, I noticed I could ask my young cousin to help me download the APK and transfer it to me. As he is living in USA and he is easy to download it using his G-mail account.
