Yeah, as a tourist I wouldn't expect too much of an issue. I've seen it multiple times that I get something of a pass on security measures. I've been routed around metal detectors more than once, almost never asked to take a swig from my water bottle etc. So long as I wasn't in a sensitive area I wouldn't worry much about it. (Although the part of China I would be most interested into going into the sort of location where I would be carrying my inReach is Tibet.)

China concerns me for political reasons, not for personal safety ones.
