www.unionpayintl.com/en/

Verifies: UnionPay International's own English-language statements about UnionPay cardholder acceptance — "UnionPay cards can be smoothly used at 183 countries and regions worldwide" (identical sentence on both URLs; the 183 figure is the page's own claim, never counted or verified by us); the page heading "Online Payment_UnionPay International"; and the online-payment family rendered as four English navigation labels only (3DS, ExpressPay In-APP, Click to Pay, PaybyLink), with no feature descriptions, technical specifications, or integration documentation rendering server-side. A country picker organized by region (Asia, Europe, America, Oceania, Africa) renders server-side as display content; the country list is not republished. The /en/aboutUs/ pages returned HTTP 403 on access (2026-10-03) — no corporate-profile, ownership, or founding facts banked; no merchant-onboarding, acquiring, fee, or eligibility content renders on either page. Card-scheme primary — cited as UnionPay International's own claims, never as market-share or eligibility facts. URLs above are hyperlinked; on-site citations stay figures or plain-text references. Cited in our UnionPay (银联) definition.

work.weixin.qq.com/nl/international

Verifies: scope-guard provenance only — our own fetch of the international portal is the basis for the two scope-guard claims on our WeCom glossary definition: that the international site serves a JavaScript shell, and that registration documentation is Chinese-only (the shell's only server-rendered text is the Chinese product name 企业微信). It verifies no positive product facts; those are anchored to the app-store listings in entry 19. On-site: plain-text URL reference only.

Companion to the filing-guidelines, filing-FAQ, and pre-approval entries above; the “receord” URL spelling is the vendor's own — do not "fix" it. Related on-site coverage: our Mini Program ICP filing article (filing flow and pre-approval categories) — not cited on-site; registered as the category-selection primary reference.

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/china/overview-operations

Verifies: Microsoft's own definition of its China cloud footprint — "Microsoft Azure operated by 21Vianet (Azure in China) is a physically separated instance of cloud services located in China," independently operated and transacted by Shanghai Blue Cloud Technology Co., Ltd. (21Vianet) rather than by Microsoft, so a global Azure subscription does not extend into China. URL above is hyperlinked; on-site citations stay figures or plain-text references. Cited in our Azure China (21Vianet) glossary definition.

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/china/overview-sovereignty-and-regulations
