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 use the Cisco WebVPN (AnyConnect) client and I have yet to find a place in China where it doesn't work perfectly - even in rural areas, but not so rural that they don't have Internet access. However, if you try to do many "normal" things outside of the VPN connection - check certain news sites, logon to facebook or watch a video on YouTube, you won't be able to do so.
