I'm not too familiar with the networks in China, but the iPads purchased in HK are definitely unlocked to be used anywhere.

You can buy an iPad in HK and it will work in China.  All you need is a SIM, and a data contract that includes China either as a local network or with roaming.   Roaming charges will be high, unless you subscribe to a local data provider - data roaming is currently the cash-cow that the networks are milking for all they can.   If you spend most of your time in HK, 3HK provide a good deal, at $68 per day for data roaming in China (about half what the other networks charge), and the monthly charge for HK is also a very reasonable iro $98-$160. But if you spend most of your time in China, get yourself a SIM in China, and use that when you are there.   FYI China Unicom has a JV with 3HK, and they provide roaming in HK via 3HK's network. Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!
