    This is what I see when I view https://www1.qt.io/download-open-source-access/ from a static IP address in Australia:

    It doesn't bother me too much since I understand some Chinese, but I'd imagine that lots of Australians can't read that drop-down menu! @tekojo ?

              Home -> "Download. Try. Buy." -> "Go open source"

                  Same as @VRonin here, direct link in Chinese but standard browsing as suggested in English.

                    Ah, OK... if I do a regular click on "Go open source", I get a dialog with "Your Open Source Obligations" and then get taken to https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer

                    However, it I Ctrl+click "Go open source" or Right-click -> "Open in new tab", I get taken to https://www1.qt.io/download-open-source-access/

                      If you open in another tab the commercial one, instead, you end up on https://www1.qt.io/ru_old/download
