China blocks most IPs from foreign cloud providers like AWS or Digital Ocean. And if I am not mistaken, they can also block some VPN protocols (tor is not a VPN protocol, but it is very blocked, I don’t know if tor bridge works), but I am not sure which exactly.
Last time I was there, express do not work, and I heard proton also does not work. However, my mobile carrier by default routes all roaming traffic through UK, so that did work.
They have. I don’t know what people are talking about in this post. It’s bypassable easily, and the CCP won’t kill you for it. There are so many Chinese using aVPN themselves to bypass GFW
Unfortunately it’s still trial and error. Check out e.g Ovpn though. You can always email and ask different providers as well. Though it’s best it you set it up before visiting China. A HK sim through Airalo or similar also works.

Do mainstream VPN providers not have a Chinese solution?

What brand of VPN do you use to bypass it, many of my friends are there quite frequently, none of them have a mainstream solution for it.
