> You are seeing the Great Firewall in action

Why? It's just that Apple has CDNs in China. Yes, as long as you do all the bureaucracy nonsense and comply to censorship you can do that.

e6858.e19.s.tl88.net resolves to 221.194.154.187. tl88.net is the domain for a CDN vendor mainly operating in China.

And it does serve www.apple.com content with actual www.apple.com TLS cert.

Thanks for the explanation about the CDN for apple.com. However, the parent's observation seems to be consistent with the Great Firewall, no?

Oops, sorry, yes you are right. For some reason I didn't see GP's comment at all and ignored the fact that you were replying to it /facepalm
