I travel to China at least once a year, often several times. I
generally visit major cities like Shanghai and Beijing, but have been
to a number of other cities. I generally use Cisco VPN (an IPsec VPN)
to Cisco DMZs in Tokyo or Hong Kong for business purposes. As with
hotels in other parts of the world, congestive interference depends a
lot on the hotel and what the person you're competing with is doing. I
can tell you a few horror stories if you're amused by them, but in
recent years things have been improving.
I use the Cisco WebVPN (AnyConnect) client and I have yet to find a
place in China where it doesn't work perfectly - even in rural areas,
but not so rural that they don't have Internet access. However, if
you try to do many "normal" things outside of the VPN connection -
check certain news sites, logon to facebook or watch a video on
YouTube, you won't be able to do so.
