Definitely by using a OTC, It will become a trend. OTC can also be used in other counties as well
There was some competitor to localbitcoins where people offered Alipay which to my knowledge would come close to Ebay's PayPal service.
I'm not a Chinese resident, so have to pickup informations from seeping the forums. Guess what, in the center of europe (germany) they banned localbitcoins. To no avail I must add, since it's a small world where people are free to travel nearby borders.

The best way to start converting RMB to USD (and then on to BTC) is to open up an offshore multicurrency bank account.
A lot of my Chinese friends go to Hong Kong to do this.
It enables them to freely exchange currencies within their own account.
Another way is to just get a credit card and vpn.
There are a lot of exchanges where you can buy small amounts with a credit card without verification.
Sometimes it is tiny (coinbase is $50 a week without verification) but at least you can get some.
If your vpn doesn't work, try astril or nord, friends tell me these work fine in china.
If I would require a firewall or VPN expert, I would definitely go for a native chinese. They are kinda experienced in stuff like that
The RMB to Korean Won exchange seems to be easier, and from there neiter USD, nor BTC are far away.
