I did, but it took 2.5 hours at a China Mobile center in town which doesn’t meet the requirements. Also I need to keep paying for the plan.

You can get on arrival SIM at Shanghai airport but that also doesn’t meet the requirements.

Google Fi is a last resort backup option but it’s expensive and slow. Also I’m banned from it from too much international roaming.
