"Designed to work" till they upgrade their defense against it
As much I'm aware, usage of VPN in China IS illegal (@Moondog) - unless you register for it (which, apparently, no one did)

"Unregistered VPN service providers are not protected by Chinese laws, and any company running a VPN business should realize they have a responsibility to register, he said. "
Well, I would definitely suggest to use VPN _anywhere_ in the world. There are reasons why any company which holds any kind of IP should send it's people with a perfectly clean notebook/pad around the world, only to access any data over company VPN, especially in countries like the USA, France, Russia and China, but basically everywhere. (The cases where business travellers had their notebook "inspected" and any encrypted passwords being demanded (or else...) at US (and others) immigration are well known..)
