Can't create Samsung account on S24 in China

[FiveWils]

I just unboxed a new Galaxy S24 Ultra I bought in Hong Kong, but I live in China with a Chinese SIM card. 

I bought the international/HK, not the Chinese, model so I can use the Galaxy AI phone live translate. But when setting up the phone, I'm unable to create a Samsung account to enable the Galaxy AI features. I get a message saying I can't create an account with a Chinese SIM card.

So I can't use Galaxy AI in China at all? Or if I install it while outside of China using, say, a Thai or Korean SIM card--will it work with my Chinese SIM card when I'm back in China?
