Just for a supplement - I did not know that either, but I think it's not only abouit Jira. I've seen several times developers in China sometimes struggle also with connecting to GitHub - may be due to the so-called Great Firewall. I've also seen the same situation in other services (video chat, etc.) so I guess it's a general issue that the free internet connection is not necessarily always available in all countries/regions.
