    Hmm am afraid i never really used any VPN in China. Have always stuck to my local telco roaming services.

    Roaming is insanely expensive. That should only be used as an emergency option.

    Don't confuse people by using terms like " your local bank cards" or " your local Telco service". Just use " foreign".
