This can often be circumvented by use of a third-party VPN service that you've purchased prior to your trip. However, please keep in mind that electronic eavesdropping is considered to be widely prevalent in China, and the computers of foreign travelers are often compromised in an attempt to gain access to research and corporate data.

An easy and relatively transparent way to aid in achieving this goal is the encryption of hard drives used on university-owned computers. Whole Disk Encryption (WDE) works by converting the data stored on the drive in such a way that it is undecipherable without the decryption key, thereby protecting the data from theft if the computer is stolen or operated by an unauthorized person.
