Remote work/administration too. I work on servers one of which is behind the chinese firewall, via ssh. ssh can carry socks natively, I could build a crude throttled but working vpn in seconds.
China is also slowing transfers in general, I guess to push domestic providers and servers. Even with that if they don’t want to sever all economic and scientific connections it will remain possible, though cumbersome to most.
it kinda confuses me that china couldn’t restrict VPN and Tor if it wanted to. i rather suspect they turn a blind eye, for some reason.
IIRC it’s mainly that many corporations depend on VPNs for security - blanket banning would make it pretty hard for multinationals to work in china
