The zone must be provisioned with access to the China Network. + +Once these two criteria are met, create a load balancer by sending a POST request to the following endpoint. To deploy to the China Network, the `networks` array in the API call must contain `jdcloud` as a value in addition to `cloudflare`. Refer to the [Cloudflare API documentation](/api/operations/load-balancers-create-load-balancer#request-body) for details on the required fields and their formats.
