look into region locking first just to make sure it'll work when you're in China
Apparently the PS5 isn't region-locked. Playstation Network accounts are region-locked, but as long as I create an account in China, games from any other region will remain playable.
This is correct, I use a US PS5 in Japan and there is no issue.
I just have multiple PSN accounts for different regions. Even if you wanted to use the off-region PSN account outside that region you could, you would just have to do some workarounds to fund the digital wallet. Though there are plenty of sites that sell PSN codes that would work, I have used in the past and never been an issue.
Sweet. I'm used to buying PSN cards for the digital wallet anyway.
Are China and Japan considered the same region for purposes like this?
They are not. Asia (this comprises most SE asian countries), China, Japan, and SK are each separate regions.
Not quite as uniform as Europe, which is basically just one big region.
