Hi, from the admin. Thanks for your advice and I'm sorry that we got some things wrong. But let me know your problems in particular:

"Most young and middle-aged Chinese can speak English, even though the skill maybe not so good."

Well, this is very arguable. I visited some provider stores in Beijing and Shanghai and very few people were able enough to communicate in English to sell a SIM card. I guess the situation is not better on the country. I think it's important to point out that there are places in China where you won't be understood not speaking Mandarin.

"Second, for real name registration, all the foreigner can use thieir passports to register their SIM cards in a vendor store."

We don't say that this is impossible or anyway restricted. This segment of the article only discourages foreigners not to buy a SIM on the streets for various reasons. I think, it's clear that they are free to go in a store of the provider showing a passport.

"Third, "Great Firewall of China" is not so horriable, just use VPN, the vendors just limit your speed or make the connection not so stable,"

I totally disagree on that. There is hardly any country in the world with a more notorious censorship than China. Major "Western" apps like Google (Maps), Facebook, YouTube or Twitter are blocked, others are severly restricted. And from 2018 they outlawed VPNs too generally used to circumvent these black-outs. We still don't know if this VPN ban will have an effect or not. But surely, it makes things more complicated and "illegal".

''"China has the most coverage and fast network of the whole the world." ''

China's networks are good. But being a huge country, this differs from place to place. So smaller countries like S.Korea, Taiwan or Singapore get higher speeds. But they may be unfair to compare with. One thing is for sure: We all love you for the great smartphones that you produce and here China is the real world leader.
