The real reason is that they can't tap Skype.

[1]Retrospeak writes "According to a Reuters report [2]China is
starting to block Skype service in Shenzhen, an affluent southern city
of China. Local Chinese media report that China Telecom has plans to
eventually block the service throughout its coverage area nationwide.
Could this have something to do with the fact that China Telecom
charges close to $1 per minute for calls to United States and Europe?"
From the article: " A China Telecom spokesman had no comment on the
reports about the Shenzhen blockage, but gave a broader view. 'Under
the current relevant laws and regulations of China, PC-to-phone
services are strictly regulated and only China Telecom and (the
nation's other fixed-line carrier) China Netcom are permitted to carry
out some trials on a very limited basis,' he said."
