No, you cannot play BF1 Ultra in China because it is not available there.

Hello! Could you let me know if it's possible to play Battlefield 1 online in Ultra while in China? I'm using a system with 16GB RAM, an Intel i7-4790K CPU at 4.00GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, Samsung Evo 850 SSD, and three monitors. Thanks!
Region influences how well a game runs... It can be tricky to pinpoint exactly. Internet speed might cause delays, but it depends on the servers you connect to—there are likely servers in Asia for BF1. Beyond latency and connection, your GTX 970 should handle BF1 at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings without major problems, according to the reviews I shared. If you intend to use all three monitors for surround sound gaming (three 1080p screens), that won’t work. Check those links for more details.
It seems your region affects the experience with these settings. A 970 might struggle to achieve Ultra at 60fps even with one screen, so sticking to Med/High on a single monitor is likely better. Lag or lag time depends on the server location and distance from you. They probably have many servers in Asia, which should help with smooth gameplay.
Ultra isn't possible with this GPU unless you're talking about a lower resolution. You should be able to play it at medium-high settings in 1080p at 60fps. Regarding China, it seems you're wondering if the game is restricted there—probably not blocked, just no internet access. It's definitely not North Korea!
Ultra 1080p with a 970 offers solid performance and decent frame rates. It's quite feasible on a single screen, though three surround channels won't work well. Here are the expected specs for a GTX 970 against BF 1 Ultra at 1080p on one monitor. Running three surround channels while maintaining ultra speed will be challenging.
Last month, the Chinese government restricted ultra settings across the board.
