An eSIM cannot bypass the Great Firewall of China. While there are prepaid eSIM data packages available for use within China, they do not grant access to restricted content. The Great Firewall blocks many popular websites, including news sites, social media platforms, and streaming services.

To circumvent these restrictions, users often resort to VPNs, which create encrypted tunnels for internet traffic. However, the Chinese government actively blocks many VPN services, making this method unreliable. In short, a China eSIM will not help you access blocked content.
