You can get a direct line in the mainland from China telecom unfiltered by the firewall if you are a big enough company (foreign or otherwise). It is about the only reliable way of jumping the wall.

A lot of hotels in GZ have internet through HK for some odd reason I can’t fathom, it was nice browsing Facebook in my hotel room without a VPN.

Sure, you can, but that's not censorship resistant either, after all they know who you are.

Plus even just to get a SIM card you need passport/id. So to be able to speak freely some kind of secure anonymization layer is needed.
