    No it can not. It is needed to connect to a VPN first in order to reach the tor network from China.

        You're still using a proxy to connect to Tor. It's technically not a VPN, but I'm also using a proxy in China myself.

        It's not Tor that avoids the censorship, it's the proxy you use to connect to Tor since Tor IS blocked

        Thanks for the info. I still wouldn't consider these as long-term solutions bc they tend to be frequently blocked and/or are really slow.
