do i need an ICP licence for an international web site with a chinese language version

We operate a web site out from Europe. Its content is offered in several language versions, among others a chinese language version. Do i have to apply for an ICP licence?

An ICP license would only be required if you use a mainland China server to host your site or you require CDN services within mainland China. If none of these criteria are true you do not require an ICP license.
