What VPN provider is this? I could use it because Chinese users of my apps often complain about not being able to download things from my western hosted servers.

Just an anecdote,

I lived in China for a bit years ago and one the biggest issues accessing western websites weren't restrictions against the site. Most of the times the culprit was using CDNs or services from Google or Cloudflare which were restricted totally or partially.

I was working on a site around that time, learned about that fixed it for the chinese user base, after that users from china went up considerably.

When I was in China the only VPN that worked using China mobile and other local ISPs was Lets VPN, they route through HK.

Not sure if having point of presence (POP) managed DNS for China is of interest, but my company offers something for China traffic [0].
