See Gartner report (ID Number: G00205633) from 2010: Managing Data Protection in the People's Republic of China. It is dated, but much of it is relevant. There’s likely newer advice from Gartner.

But the bottom line is that employees have to be very, very, very careful in China.

Get advice from legal if and when you can use encryption, use a VPN, etc.
