Sounds like they want to get around region locks on their favorite content sites rather than a wish to remain censored.

People have been doing this for years, e.g. here is one popular project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;uku&#x2F;Unblock-Youku" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;uku&#x2F;Unblock-Youku</a><p>Chinese video sites carry Chinese-language (and English) content for which they hold only domestic licences.

clickbait article, really useless content. chinese people overseas can’t access their favourite apps and music. they use a vpn to regain that access. is this even worth an article, yet alone a topic on HN?
