[edit] Solution
Because of mentioned restriction it is suggested to use the separate video hosting service to provide an availability the viewing of video on Jaguar Freight Service website (JFS website) for visitors from China.
Video hosting service YouKu was chosen because it is based in China and provide many abilities exactly in Chinese Internet video sector.
So we should to use TWO video hosting services for storing the video:
Each hosting should contains full set of video materials for website. But the only one appropriate address of needed video will be used for the every visitor. This address (from YouTube or YouKu) should be inserted into HTML code of the site before displaying the page on screen. For this, we should first define country from which the visitor came on the website.
To define the visitor's country we should analyze his IP Address (actually this is the address of visitor's computer in Internet that is given the Internet provider).
Technical Note: --------------- An Internet Protocol address (IP Address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network. All space of IP Addresses in Internet is supervised by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). IANA delegates allocations of IP address blocks to Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). In turn, each RIR manages the allocation and registration of Internet number resources within a particular region of the world (including IP addresses). RIRs follow their regional policies to delegate resources to their customers, which include Internet service providers and end-user organizations.
Since JFS website is built and works on WordPress engine therefore it is reasonably to use already existing WordPress plugins that could identify visitor's geographical location by IP Address.
Technical Note: --------------- After primary investigation the following WordPress plugins were selected for testing: "IP-to-Country" and "GeoMarketing".
