You have to get your ICP number registered by a Chinese national (like you say) and then display it on the footer of all your web pages (if you don't, your site will be taken down & you'll be fined). You've also got to store all data on Chinese citizens on a Chinese server.
And they don't mention this on that page, but for every publc IP you want to use in China, you have to re-submit your ICP filing/license paperwork, listing every public IP you will use, and what it is used for. So don't accidentally destroy your AWS load balancer, or you'll need to re-file all your paperwork before you can bring your site back up! (AWS load balancers can't be configured with static IPs)
> Remind me, why do we do business with these people again? Why do we give them our money?
Because then we get money. It's the largest "emerging" market in the world. If you have a product that makes 1 million dollars in the US, do some localization work and launch it in China, and you've doubled your money. Every major corporation is actively working on launching in China, because it's obvious that they're leaving money on the table by not being in China.
