Anecdotally, their standard for what constitutes "targeting" seems to be fairly high (e.g. refrain from specifically advertising to users in China, and the net nannies probably won't care). That having been said, just because a specific commercial VPN is not on their "take down" list, doesn't mean it will work well in China. They need to be on top of changing technologies and make adequate infrastructure investments.
