Sure. It basically means “the right is guaranteed, unless we don’t want to”.
Which makes it meaningless in practice.
Citizens of the People's Republic of China, in exercising their freedoms and rights, may not infringe upon the interests of the state, of society or of the collective, or upon the lawful freedoms and rights of other citizens."
So the constitution, even if followed perfectly, technically only guarantees such rights when they don't interfere with the interests of the state.
