China may be getting the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus a little later than many parts of the world, but that doesn’t seem to have slowed down demand any. Ever since being made available for preorder late last week, upwards of 4.85 million iPhone 6 family handsets have reportedly been ordered, according to the Chinese live tracking website JD.com.

JD.com is a Chinese website that seems to be tracking Apple AAPL iPhone 6 and 6 Plus pre-orders on a real-time basis. I have started following it and developed a Google Doc with the four times I have data. The first data set is from Philip Elmer-DeWitt’s article at Fortune that has JD.com showing over 2.8 million pre-orders for Apple’s iPhone 6s as of 11 pm Friday Beijing time (8:00 am Friday Pacific time). The article also referenced a Tencent article that there were about 1 million more iPhones pre-ordered in addition to the 2.8 million.
