I know it is anecdotal, but I have never seen even the slightest hint of anyone having their devices closely looked at entering China. At least not in the 72/144 hour visa-free line that I have been using for the past couple of years. This visa-free entry is aimed at business travelers so perhaps there is less scrutiny there.

I've had the same experience as well. Ironically, the only place where I've ever been scrutinized or directly searched is the US.

Short of being some sort of China-focused activist, you'd have to try real hard to get Chinese law enforcement to care about what you're doing.
