  I would like to establish a blog on WordPress.com.

  However, the static file on WordPress.com which using the *.wp.com is not accessiable in China mainland.

  Can I use my own domain replace the *.wp.com as the static files’ domain?

  Hi @mytsing520,

  On WP.com it’s not possible to replace the “.wp.com” domain that serves static files. These files (images, CSS, scripts, etc.) are delivered through WordPress.com’s own CDN, and the domain is managed automatically by the platform.

  You can map your own custom domain for the main site address, but the static files will still load from *.wp.com.

  If you need full control over how static files are served, you might want to consider using a self-hosted WordPress.org site instead. You can understand better this differences here.

  Hope this helps!
