# Mainland China Wave-3 Status

Region id: `cn-mainland`

Status: partner-of-record-required.

Mainland China is a separate operational project. It requires ICP licensing,
local partner-of-record review, IP and content approvals, age-gating review,
localized residency controls, and a separate operating model. It is not a
copy-paste expansion of wave-1 or wave-2 launch work.

Launch decision: deferred until partner-of-record, IP, content, and data
residency review clear.
