No you're right, the guys at Tor have even recognized this and hence why they push for users to run their own end points, the more the better. Protons stealth protocol works wonders for deep packet scanning protection.

there probably are vpns that work there, most of the popular ones also blocked in Russia, but a ton of new ones have popped up, specifically targeted at russian users. I'm sure something like that must exist in China

Probably because the regime controls all the endpoints. That's what I've heard about TOR, anyway. Admittedly, I'm speaking out of my butt, but it's at least plausible.
FWIW, when I went to China, I prepared a VPN beforehand but when I got there, I couldn't access it because they knew the VPN's IPs. (It was NordVPN). So there is some truth that gov'ts might not care because they can still track you if they need to.
