Although I have no personal experience flying in China, I was told by
my borther-in-law, who is a nonpilot living in Shanghai, that GA is now
available in both Shanghai and Beijin. However, only very limited
airspaces have been authorized for GA flight. Cross country flight
requires government approval in advance. Here are some resources:

BTW, I will be happy to babysit your A36 for free while you are in
China :-)
