I usually get a HK SIM card with a roaming package when travelling in China but am contemplating a UK China Mobile SIM (CMLink).
I confirm I was on the Western side of the Great Firewall so was able to access Google, FaceBook and so on. It’s not perfect. My fellow Brit who teaches there could not send me a text message from his local Chinese SIM, for example.
