“is there a way to circumvent this?”
No. Apple Intelligence is not presently available on China mainland devices.
See the fine print here: Get started with the next generation of Apple Intelligence - Apple Support (HK)
Apple states: ”When Apple Intelligence is available in China mainland, previously-purchased devices that support Apple Intelligence will be able to activate and start using a core set of Apple Intelligence features in that region. New Apple Intelligence features will not be available in China while Apple works through regulatory requirements.”
