According to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-azure-location-based-services-public-preview/, Azure location-based services public preview on 11/28/2017 which is good, as a China developer, I'd like to know if it's supporting China map?

Azure Location Based Services will not be available if your current IP address is in below countries.
China
India
Pakistan
Argentina
Morocco
South Korea.
However we have maps of those countries available. If your current IP address is not in China you will be able to access China map.

Server Architecture for application that needs to have country code top level domain

I was working on an web and mobile application which was startup business of Australia. We have our linode server and database in Singapore. We have a separate codebase for web app and mobile app(APIs). The business worked pretty well and now the client wants to expand their service in USA too.
The web app was hosted as appname.com.au and now he wants to launch the Application in USA as appname.com. And he wants to utilize the same mobile application for both Australia and USA because of not enough funding.
The problem is there will be many additional features/modifications in business logic for USA.
My main concern is should I continue on single web app or make new app for USA.
Since, we already have two separate codebases i.e. one for existing web app and another for APIs => mobile app. Maintaining more codebases will be very difficult for us.
The products that is sold via app should be location aware i.e. as popular products for one state of USA from another or from Australia will obviously vary, features product in home page should vary too.
The products uploaded to the Australia can be seen by the users of USA but, shouldn't be able to buy and vice-versa.
For this, should we continue to work on the same app or go with the new separate app for USA. Chances are this application will grow hugely in coming days and we need to scale it more thus, we are pretty stuck on what's the right/better thing to do.
Any help will be highly appreciated. If you don't understand it clearly I will let you know via comments. And yeah thanks for your time :)

logic apps integration with Vnet

I need to integrate my Logic Apps with a VNet, i've find this article :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/connect-virtual-network-vnet-isolated-environment#create-environment
But can't find more the ISE on Azure Marketplace, any idea please ?
Regards,
ISE is a preview service enabled on demand and only in specific regions.
Quote from Microsoft: This capability is in private preview. To
request access, create your request to join here.
Note that Integration Service Environment private preview is only
available in Australia East, West Europe, West US 2, East US but will
be in all Logic App regions for public preview.
You can create your ISE via Azure portal and use it. You will have multiple skus to have. Developer or premium.
The developer a cannot be used in production and causes throttling after particular number of actions fired./time unit.
This is a dedicated environment for u with better performance than normal consumption. Still this is expensive.
Alternatively you can use logic apps standard. Vnet integrated veriosn of logic apps.

Hosting the application in europe without a Premier account

I've built a Google App Engine application mostly for European users. I recently learned about the possibility to host it in the EU, and I'd like to do that.
The documentation at https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstartedpython27/uploading states
Note : If you have an App Engine Premier account, you can specify that your new application should reside in the European Union rather than the United States. For developers that do not have a Premier account, you will need to enable billing for applications that should reside in the European Union.
and
You must specify this location by clicking the "Edit" link in the "Location Options" section when you register the application; you cannot change it later.
I'm a bit confused by this because you cannot enable billing on an application before creating it, and once created you cannot change its location.
My questions are
Am I missing something?
What would be the best way to move my application to Europe?
Update
App Engine server location is now open to all Developeres.
Bear in mind, this must be specified when the application is being register; you cannot change it later. Server Location options is available under Show Advanced Options on the Create Project. This will allow you to choose either United States or European Union.
It's now possible for any user to host an App Engine application in the European Union, and the docs have been updated to reflect that.

How to redirect user requests to the closest GAE datacenter (US or EU)?

I have an application deployed both in the United States and in the European Google App Engine datacenters. (my-app-us and my-app-eu)
How can I redirect the user to the closest datacenter based on their location? The objective is to obtain the best latency.
A French user should be redirected to the EU datacenter wheras a Canadian user should be redirected to the US datacenter.
EDIT Latencies given by Pingdom:
Users in European coutries to US datacenter: ~300 ms
Users in European coutries to EU datacenter: ~60 ms
User in USA to US datacenter: ~50 ms
User in USA to EU datacenter: ~300 ms
Sounds like you want this routing to be transparent to both users and applications. If that is true, DNS routing can be an option. Here's an example provider:http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com/services/global-traffic-director/
Most DNS providers offer something like this. The main downside is that like stated in the comments, if data is not replicated and your user travels, the experience won't be great.

Direct Carrier Billing providers

I have been doing some research on payment providers for in-app billing that support direct carrier billing in USA. So far I have found that Google Play support for carriers AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. And WAC support AT&T.
Anyone have been working with or know of any other payment providers?
Conditions:
Support carrier billing in USA
Do not use Premium SMS
And support more than one carrier.
I'd suggest http://bango.com/mobilebillingcoverage/
JunglePay.
