Many Chinese users actually hate this feature because of how it's designed. There's a mandatory pop-up upon the first launch of every app to ask for your choice, which can be clumsy if you're setting up a new device. If you tap the wrong option (which is common since the dialog is small and crowded), you have to go deep into system settings to restore internet access. Moreover, many foreign app developers know nothing of this and have their apps throw an error even before a Chinese user has the chance to give permission, forcing them to manually kill and reopen the app to be online, adding to the errands.
