I know of few Western universities in China giving out VPN on campus from under the table, but nothing like that in BJ. Can you elaborate?
Go to Beijing. Go to one of the two best universities. Go to the residential area. Connect to wifi. Go to google.com. This worked at least 6 months ago and a student active confirmed that its how it has always been.
Tsinghua? They made some form of VPN just for foreign exchange students as I heard. Never heard of details though.
