Can’t a VPN bypass the filters, as is done in China?

Oh, absolutely.

That's why the judge-king preemptively threatened to fine anyone caught doing so 10kUSD/day.

He also ordered the VPNs themselves to prevent access to X. It's unclear to me whether he even has jurisdiction over them.

He might also have ordered the big techs to delete the VPN apps themselves from their app stores and even remotely from people's phones. Haven't confirmed this information yet but I wouldn't be surprised.
