It should be noted that using a non-china based iTunes account still allows you to install vpn apps and run the app inside Chinese borders...

But The Great Firewall could and sometimes does already block all VPN traffic so it would not be any use.

If the VPN actually works the app might still be useful. It is a game of cat and mouse between the government and the VPN providers.
