Why is the RDP not available in China App Store on MacOS?

Why is the RDP not available in China App Store on MacOS?
I read some threads in this forum, but I still don't understand.
People said it's because of localization. But there are many English-only apps in China App Store. They are avaiable and they are NOT localized.
Btw, all the preview version URLs are broken, such as aka.ms/rdmac-preview.
Can Microsoft please publish RDP english version on China App Store?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello @theStheL-4615 ,

Thanks for your query.

1.We sincerely suggest that you could post this request to the uservoice and let others vote for it to see if there will be any feedback from the product team.

2What about using the beta version? https://install.appcenter.ms/orgs/rdmacios-k2vy/apps/microsoft-remote-desktop-for-mac/distribution_groups/all-users-of-microsoft-remote-desktop-for-mac

3.Besides, If you have an Apple ID in another country (say US), you can logon a different Apple ID to get RDC for Mac.

Thank you very much for your detail reply and explanation. I have accepted your answer.

Thanks a lot for the beta version URL too. I have no ideas how to find it. I don't find such URL by googling. That will be enough for me.

Btw, MacOS does NOT provide an easy way to swtich Apple ID. I have to sign out the current ID and sign in the new one. Auto sync tasks will be ran automatically too. That may mess up some of my cloud and local data. That's why I didn't change the Apple ID normally. Maybe I can consider this option too in the future.

Yours Sincerely,
-Song

Hello @theStheL-4615 ,

Thanks for your cooperation.

Can you search the beta version URL by googling "Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta"? Then you'll see the first search result as "App Center".
