Any China based BTC hobby miners here?

Aside from obvious "laziest attempt to crack down on illegal miners by government agent" jokes, I am currently located in China and wonder if people still do some mining in the country considering cheap electricity prices and the fact that biggest ASIC manufacturers like Bitmain are located here. So I was wondering if I get one rig for myself, would I be successful in mining? Would I need to do a custom set up VPN router to access the global network? I heard in some high tech cities like Shenzhen you can purchase ASICs relatively easy and like twice as cheap compared to what people outside of China pay for.

Sooo… any opinions? Some experience on the matter?
