Is Tethering an issue in places like US, Canada and Mainland China? (Term says: 6. Tethering availability depends on network operators in the destinations. 3HK does not restrict the use of tethering with Data Roaming Day Pass.)
In Mainland China, I guess it works like any foreign roaming and you can bypass the Great Firewall?
3/Hutchison is a real mobile provider; Flexiroam is an MVNO bundling service from who-knows-where. If you don't need the additional countries Flexiroam covers, there's not really any reason to use them. 3HK has been super reliable for me everywhere but India, where it works great in Delhi and less great elsewhere. In the U.S. you get T-Mobile and AT&T, which is really nice.
I can't speak for China, but I've never had any problem tethering in the U.S., Canada, India or Europe with 3HK (or 3UK for that matter).
