Two points:

1. To both check for and to download updates, my phone should not have
to communicate with any server outside China.  It's just the reality
here.  Servers outside China may work from time to time, but if you're
providing services to users inside China you have to assume they don't.
If Ubuntu can't provide servers inside China, never mind.  There's no
point investigating something we know won't work.  If Ubuntu can and
does, then please verify (or give me instructions on how to verify) that
the system automatically configures itself to use them.

2. The secondary problem is that the experience is still not good when
it's unable to contact the servers.  I tried it just now.  It spins for
a long time and then says "Connect to the Internet to check for
updates".  I'm connected to 4G right now.  There should be a mechanism
for sideloading updates from an SD card or something similar, because
network failures of all kinds are a fact of life.

So while I think it's interesting if other users in other cities (I'm in
Chengdu) are equally affected by this problem, I just want to emphasise
that it's not really the core issue I'm pointing to here.
