China now has their own connection into the international X.25 network
that links Australia, Japan, North America and Europe (as well as,
no doubt, other regions).  While I was in Shanghai last month, I
successfully connected from Jiao Tong University to the WELL.

The cost is 3 yuan per minute, so your friend might find it a bit
expensive for casual use.  Also, I believe that one needs a leased
line from the site into the local network node, as well as what
appears to be a 1200 baud modem attached to that line.

Good luck.
