I would not expect this to get you in trouble, no. Now, if you were to call the China Daily in advance and announce that you intented to reveal (new) methods for circumventing state laws and you declared this an open BOF where members of the public were invited to come and listen to your (I am assuming) perfect Mandarin, then I can imagine you would politely be asked to refrain from this activity. I am sure we can dream up other scenarioes, but at the risk of repeating myself: in the 68 meetings of the IETF that I have attended, I've never observed activity that would cause concern in the context that we are discussing.
