@derekbekoe Thanks for your advice

It works to me for switching cloud to china area with the command. However, the second normal login command doesn't work well, instead, throw an error

Get Token request returned http error: 400 and server response: {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"AADSTS50034: To sign into this applicati

No idea what's the root cause. Will contact the local azure support for clarification. Any updates will post here.

After consult with local azure support team, Azure CLI 2.0 (generally available release) doesn't work well to Azure China due to the incompatibility issues. The issue will be resolved in future RC and stable release. I was advised that Azure CLI 0.10.8 (.9 and .10 both are still incompatible) current stable version azure-xplat-cli

@amarzavery please help to close this issue.
