Individuals bypassing technical restrictions is very different from having a commercial operation. Without the mandated censorship and monitoring, Starlink's entire business is completely illegal in China, so the entire thing (from setup to service to support) would have to be run underground, they'd have to accept payment in Bitcoin, no SpaceX executive could ever travel to China, and Tesla would probably have to get out too.
It's not gonna happen. There is no chance, none whatsoever, that Starlink ever does business in China unless it goes through the same filters as everyone else, even though from a purely technical perspective it theoretically could.
