Hello,

While I have never visted China or tested from it, I do know the great firewalls of China does interfere with VPN's. Not sure if that is what you are running into or not.

Good luck!

@WSAdalian,

China and VPNs are kind of a no-go. I wouldn't be suprised if your slow speed is actually more because the great firewall is dropping your packets. Sadly this simply isn't going to be reliable.
