I have to download Flash from https://www.flash.cn

And it still prompt me "This Flash Player is not compatible with your region, please reinstall Adobe Flash Player."

Now I am totally blocked from using Flash. Why I cannot install general Flash. Have you ever tested in China?

I have the same problem, flash has stopped updating since 5 years ago, it's a legacy project. Adobe sold the rights of flash to a Chinese bloatware company in Chongqing, 重橙科技, and this 重橙科技 pushes bloatware game advertisements along with its updates. Don't ever count on adobe to solve this problem, they have abandoned it a long time ago.

The Flash Player beta installers are currently not available for distribution in China. Only the non-beta installers are available from www.flash.cn, Adobe's official distribution partner in China.

Attempting to use the beta version in China, or Flash Player downloaded from a site other than www.flash.cn (e.g. by downloading it via VPN) will result in the 'not compatible' error.
