I travel to China at least once a year, often several times. I
generally visit major cities like Shanghai and Beijing, but have been
to a number of other cities. I generally use Cisco VPN (an IPsec VPN)
to Cisco DMZs in Tokyo or Hong Kong for business purposes. As with
hotels in other parts of the world, congestive interference depends a
lot on the hotel and what the person you're competing with is doing. I
can tell you a few horror stories if you're amused by them, but in
recent years things have been improving.

I have a client in the US looking to connect up an office in China

IPSEC VPNs can be established through the 'Great firewall of China'.
I talked to a China Telcom rep in the US that says that the network
congestion even in China makes VPN's difficult. From their website,
I see that the majority of the country is using xDSL, or 2MB
dedicated lines.
Can anyone shed any light on this topic? Thanks!
