Chinese version vs international version?

I am about to buy the Boox Tab X but couldn't decide where should I get it.

I can either get it on Taobao when my mom were in China, or I could buy one from Amazon.ca (currently living in Canada). The former would be Chinese version I assumed and the one on Amazon.ca would be international?

Is there any difference between these in terms of firmwares? I want definitely google play support and don't want bloatwares...
