 * I don’t know why it wouldn’t, but just in case, I’d like to be prepared so I 
   can have somebody in the U.S. ready to upload for me.

 * … Yes.
 * It works as long as your server meets the minimum requirements. See [http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)

 * All I am wondering is if people generally know if Chinese internet meets those
   requirements, I don’t have a way to check the different internet I will be using
   in advance.
 * So generally speaking, although not in all cases, I should be able to access 
   from various parts of China?

 * kingchros, if a server in china meets the requirements in the link above then
   you should be able to run a WordPress installation just fine. However, I think
   you are asking if you will be able to access WordPress.com in china if that’s
   what you are asking then the answer is a little less reliable. This is because
   in the past the Chinese government, several ISPs and a few western companies 
   have actively censored parts of the internet that the Chinese government doesn’t
   not allow with in its borders. WordPress.com has been one of the web sites that
   has been censored in the past. I am not sure if that censor still exist today
   or not.

 * Thanks for the input RedBMedia. I am going to switch my password just in case,
   so that way I can just e-mail my posts back to the U.S. and have somebody upload
   them from here.
