I travel frequently to China; the best solution that I have found, that works out of the box on handset and laptop is shadowsocks, pointing to a secure [ie; your own] server.
I recently used this in Iran with success as well.
- GhotiFish 11y agowon't that fall prey to some of the machine learning techniques China is using? The next day, the packet loss returned. But if I simply used a different port number for the proxy, everything would continue to work fine for another day or so. I think this time the GFW was not blocking me based on side-channel leaks, but based on network metrics. 100% of the network traffic to/from my server crossing the Chinese border was to my public IP in China, so the GFW probably learned my TCP endpoint was likely used as a private VPN, as opposed to being a public HTTPS site accessed by many client IPs.

- kweks 11y agoAs the sub-poster mentioned, shadow socks is designed to counter it. What is interesting is that the author (mainland Chinese) had a 'visit' from the 'police', who 'asked' him to abandon the project. He changed the default branch of his GH project to an empty branch, but the code still remains. Further, although his code is known, the GFW doesn't block its techniques.
