Yes it would be with a high speed pack. Keep in mind ALL data is tunneled via T-Mobile US network - so the performance is as good as China Unicom's backhaul to the US (even if surfing China sites - ALL traffic will route via US) - this also means no China Firewall (Google, Facebook, etc will all work)
