I know government and corporations often maintain a stock of "China Only" laptops and phones with minimized local data (instead using a overseas cloud services via VPN at every opportunity) and with operating systems that are wiped and reimaged upon return. It's highly recommended to bring such "burner" devices because just connecting to any Chinese network (cellular or company wifi like in hotels) practically guarantees secret installation over the air of spyware tools to at least accurately track your location, if not activate the microphone or camera as well as reading the storage of your apps. All those things you fear about the CIA doing to you, in the PRC these are actually true. Beijing spends a lot more of its budget on "internal security", as in at least as much as on the military.
