I wonder if you could install a virtual machine to bypass the spyware while leaving it intact and functioning so the authorities can't catch you.

or better yet, write a program(virus), that would disable the spyware, and allow the Chinese user to bypass these restrictions. China's a huge market, think of the money to made. The trick would be to get the program on the Chinese market, under the noses of their Commie overlords.

You'd sell exactly one copy of it. After that, it'd explode across the pirate/reverse engineering gray market there. The Chinese will find ways around this nonsense.
