Amazon is charting a new course as it prepares to expand its Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform to China. The company will start inviting select businesses there to take advantage of the platform as part of a limited preview. Amazon will extend invitations to both China-based and multinational companies with customers in the region in early 2014. Data or objects that customers store in the company’s first China Region will remain exclusively in the Beijing Region unless the customers move those assets to other locations.
