I'm not going to out anyone on this, but even a quick search of Skype finds 
quite a few individuals who make use of cryptography in China. So I strongly 
suspect that there is a great deal of lenience on that front. In fact, I 
have it on dependable authority that there are a number of places in China 
where the only IM system that functions is Skype.

I have no doubt that China does place controls on it, and it has been 
published a few places that their telecom industry has a particular distaste 
for Skype, but it appears that there is more to it.
