The otherbl commentor was probably using OpenVPN which is easy to target.

Most other protocols continue to work well as long as your provider is not being targeted.

You may also have problems if you're connecting through corporate firewall. I won't name a certain Chinese well-known corporation using certain McAfee shitware that managed to block ExpressVPN and VyprVPN within a week for me, making it significantly more difficult to do my job there.

If you are flying in through HK get a china unicom hk cross border SIM. Somewhat expensive data but a life saver in those situations since there is no firewall.
