I'm not going to out anyone on this, but even a quick search of Skype finds
quite a few individuals who make use of cryptography in China. So I strongly
suspect that there is a great deal of lenience on that front. In fact, I
have it on dependable authority that there are a number of places in China
where the only IM system that functions is Skype.
I have no doubt that China does place controls on it, and it has been
published a few places that their telecom industry has a particular distaste
for Skype, but it appears that there is more to it.
