Besides the expense, I presume there are laws against Chinese citizens using international SIM cards for the purpose of bypassing the firewall. I was simply making the point that the government has made accommodations to ease the use by international business travelers. I'll also add that my ExpressVPN account (which I used from different Wi-Fi networks) often failed to connect, presumably because the Great Firewall is looking for VPN network patterns to block.
