At the end of 2020, it became known that Amazon was banned from using the logo and trademark of its AWS cloud service in China. According to The Wall Street Journal, the Beijing Municipal Court ruled that the AWS trademark belonged to Beijing-based ActionSoft Science & Technology Development Co., which also operates in the cloud, and that Amazon cannot use the name and similar logos in China.

The court also ordered Amazon to pay ActionSoft 76.5 million yuan (about $ 11.8 million) in damages. The court reportedly issued a ruling in May but did not release it until December 30.

It is real humiliation and it is expected that situation will be developing to worse. Amazon can be banned from China totally, including rule that allowing for any Chinese company or even companies closely working with Chinese corporations to use any Amazon service.
