Does Windscribe work in China? Chongqing and Chengdu.
Need access to Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube...
It might work. It may not work. Not a recommended VPN for China. You will have better luck using ExpressVPN or Surfshark or some Shadowsocks provider.

The author recommended the following VPN for China.
ExpressVPN
Surfshark
WannaFlix (Shadowsocks)

During sensitive times most or all of the traditional VPNs will not work in China, including big names like ExpressVPN.
For short stay better to have mobile data roaming as the backup. I used company phone data for my short stay in Dec 2017. My company VPN also worked on the laptop. For Dec 2018 trip I no longer had the company phone and I did not bring company laptop. I used mobile data for the first day and testing different free VPN and free Shadowsocks providers -- Windscribe (free 10GB plan) did not work. TunnelBear did not work. TunSafe (based on wireguard) did not work. Less well-known Seed4Me (one year free) did work sometimes. Some free ShadowSocks servers from FreeSS.site worked as well. I used local China SIM on my phone and I did not really need to use VPNs. So they were just for testing purposes.

What is API Resolution?
Some networks (China, businesses, etc) actively monitor your connection and can block/alter DNS requests which would break Windscribe. You can manually configure an IP address to access the API, bypassing DNS. Contact us for an IP address to use if you are getting "API Connectivity" errors.
