I just need the data, not any phonecalls or something like that. As the train crosses over the border during the day there would be enough dead time to kill while in Chinese "railspace".
Data sims are pretty easy to buy and use (no need to register unless things have changed recently). Google Fi is also an okay option if you don't want to bother with a VPN.
