Azure China and global Azure are not the same entry point; the key, region and endpoint domain all differ.
If the page says you cannot sign in with a personal account, use an organization, work or school account instead, or go back to FgoGotran and use global Azure with southeastasia.
Portal
Azure China uses a separate portal.

If your Speech resource is in China North 3, choose Azure China in FgoGotran.
chinanorth3Common problems
If the voice test fails, start here.
The test says the key is empty
The Azure Speech key has not been entered yet, or was entered but not saved.
401 / 403 / authentication failed
Usually the key and region do not match, or a global Azure key is being used with an Azure China region.
Slow connections from mainland China
Test global Azure's southeastasia first. If your account belongs to Azure China, test chinanorth3 instead.
Free quota used up
Wait for the quota to reset next month, or decide whether to move to a paid tier using the Azure pricing page and your own budget.
