經常往返中國大陸出差或旅遊的 AI 工具使用者需特別注意！AI 巨頭 Anthropic 宣布將於明（12）日起實施全新版《地區支援政策》（Supported Regions Policy）。新制不僅針對中國大陸當地的企業與個人進行存取封鎖，更將限制範圍擴大至「所有身處不支援地區」的人員。屆時即便使用者持台灣帳號、使用台灣 eSIM，或是具備其他國家國籍，只要實際踏入中國大陸境內，都將無法繼續使用 Claude 相關服務。
去中國旅遊注意！明天11/12起新規上路「不看國籍轉機出差都受影響」
根據 Anthropic 官方公布的政策規範，新版地區限制將於 2026 年 11 月 12日施行。
本次限制涵蓋的服務範圍極廣，包含：
．官方平台： Claude.ai 網頁端、Claude Code、Cowork。
．開發與企業端： 官方 API、開發者平台。
第三方通路： 透過公有雲平台（如 AWS、GCP 等）以及授權經銷商所提供的 Claude 模型服務。
Anthropic 官方明確表示，系統判定是否符合使用資格時，除了驗證使用者「當下實際所在的地理位置」之外，亦會同步審查企業的註冊地、總部所在地以及背後實際的股權控制關係。
人在中國大陸即無法使用！帳號註冊地與個人國籍皆不豁免
本次政策更新對台灣及跨國企業員工影響最為直接。Anthropic 於規範中明確指出，任何人在未開放服務的地區境內使用服務均屬違規，包含任職於支援地區企業的員工，也不得因個人國籍或帳號原始註冊地而獲得豁免。
這意味著，過去許多台灣使用者習慣透過海外帳號或行動漫遊（如台灣 eSIM）在中國大陸境內連線使用 Claude 的方式，在 11 月 12 日新制上路後均屬違反官方服務條款。使用者若於中國大陸出差、旅遊或短暫轉機期間強行連線，將面臨無法使用服務或帳號遭系統直接停權（Ban）的風險。
企業背景與股權審查升級！中國企業員工人在美國同樣受限
除了使用者的地理位置外，新版政策亦大幅提高對企業實體背後架構的審查強度，凡於不支援地區註冊或設有總部的企業，旗下員工即使實際位於美國、台灣等合法支援地區，仍無法使用 Claude 服務。
若一家企業直接或間接由不支援地區的個人或實體持有過半股權（或具備實質控制權），即使該公司登記於美國、新加坡等合規國家，其員工與相關使用者仍會被列入禁播範疇。
官方補充強調，此項控制權限制主要針對「企業實體與股權關係」，並不代表所有在海外（如美國）工作的中國籍個人會自動失去使用資格。
台灣市場仍正常支援！專家建議出差前做好備份
事實上，Anthropic 早於 2025 年 9 月即已開始收緊對不支援地區企業的銷售限制，當時禁止由相關地區企業持股超過 50% 的公司使用服務。本次修訂則是將個人所在地、公司註冊地、總部位置與最終控制權進行全面整合。
目前台灣仍屬於 Anthropic 官方明訂的合規支援地區，國內使用者在台灣境內皆可正常使用。不過，鑑於新規將於 11 月 12 日生效，專家建議經常需要跨國出差或前往中國大陸的工作者，出發前應先確認自身帳號屬性與企業架構，並妥善備份工作資料，以免因地理位置切換造成業務中斷。
Claude 新版地區政策常見問題
Q1：我是台灣人，拿台灣電信的漫遊卡去中國大陸出差，可以使用 Claude 嗎？
不行。新版政策採「實際地理位置」為判定基準，只要人位於不支援地區（如中國大陸境內），即不符合使用資格，使用漫遊或海外帳號仍可能面臨功能鎖定或帳號停權。
Q2：如果只是在中國大陸的機場轉機，可以使用 Claude 處理工作嗎？
不建議。轉機期間只要設備連接至當地基地台或機場網路，即進入不支援地區範圍，隨時可能觸發 Anthropic 的地區封鎖機制。
AI tool users who frequently travel to or from mainland China for business or tourism should take note! AI giant Anthropic has announced a new version of its Supported Regions Policy, effective tomorrow (November 12). The new policy not only blocks access for businesses and individuals in mainland China but also expands the restrictions to include "all individuals located in unsupported regions." At that time, even if a user holds a Taiwanese account, uses a Taiwanese eSIM, or holds citizenship of another country, they will be unable to use Claude-related services once they actually enter mainland China.
Take note if you're traveling to China! New regulations take effect tomorrow, November 12 – "No matter your nationality, transit and business trips will be affected."
According to Anthropic's official policy, the new region restrictions will take effect on November 12, 2026.
The scope of services covered by this restriction is extremely broad, including:
• Official platforms: Claude.ai web page, Claude Code, Cowork.
• Developer and enterprise platforms: Official API, developer platform.
Third-party channels: Claude model services provided through public cloud platforms (such as AWS, GCP, etc.) and authorized resellers.
Anthropic officially stated that when determining eligibility, in addition to verifying the user's "current actual geographical location," the system also simultaneously reviews the company's registered location, headquarters location, and actual equity control relationships.
Users residing in mainland China are prohibited from using the service! Account registration location and nationality are not exempt.
This policy update has the most direct impact on Taiwanese users and employees of multinational corporations. Anthropic's regulations clearly state that anyone using the service in a region where it is not available is in violation of the rules, including employees of companies in supported regions, and no exemptions will be granted based on nationality or the original registration location of the account.
This means that many Taiwanese users who previously used overseas accounts or mobile roaming (such as Taiwan eSIM) to connect and use Claude in mainland China will be violating the official terms of service after the new regulations take effect on November 12th. Users who attempt to connect while on business, traveling, or during a short layover in mainland China will face the risk of being unable to use the service or having their accounts directly banned by the system.
Company Background and Equity Verification Upgraded! Employees of Chinese Companies in the US Are Also Restricted
In addition to the user's geographical location, the new policy significantly strengthens the verification of the structure behind the company entity. Employees of companies registered or headquartered in unsupported regions, even if physically located in legally supported regions such as the US or Taiwan, will still be unable to use Claude services.
If a company is directly or indirectly held by an individual or entity in an unsupported region with more than half of the equity (or has substantial control), even if the company is registered in compliant countries such as the US or Singapore, its employees and related users will still be banned.
The official statement emphasizes that this control restriction mainly targets "corporate entities and equity relationships" and does not mean that all Chinese individuals working overseas (such as in the US) will automatically lose their eligibility.
Taiwan market remains supported! Experts recommend backing up your data before business trips.
In fact, Anthropic tightened sales restrictions on companies in unsupported regions as early as September 2025, prohibiting companies with more than 50% ownership in those regions from using the service. This revision comprehensively integrates personal location, company registration location, headquarters location, and ultimate control.
Currently, Taiwan remains a compliant supported region officially designated by Anthropic, and users within Taiwan can use the service normally. However, given that the new regulations will take effect on November 12th, experts recommend that workers who frequently travel internationally or to mainland China confirm their account attributes and company structure before departure and properly back up their work data to avoid business interruptions due to geographical location changes.
Claude New Regional Policy FAQs
Q1: I am Taiwanese and use a Taiwan Telecom roaming card when traveling to mainland China for business. Can I use Claude?
No. The new policy uses "actual geographical location" as the criterion for eligibility. If the user is located in an unsupported region (such as mainland China), they are ineligible to use the service. Using a roaming or overseas account may still result in feature lockout or account suspension.
Q2: Can I use Claude for work if I'm just transiting through an airport in mainland China?
Not recommended. During a transit, as long as the device connects to the local base station or airport network, it enters an unsupported region and may trigger Anthropic's region blocking mechanism at any time.
