UK mobile operator EE has become the first British network to offer 4G LTE roaming coverage in mainland China.
The carrier's list of 4G roaming countries has not yet been updated to reflect the change, however we've been seeing solid LTE coverage through China Unicom on our EE SIMs in the Beijing area in recent days. Unicom operates FDD-LTE ? the flavor of 4G used by most Western networks ? on Band 3, which also happens EE's main LTE band at home.

So naturally, the Unicom pair-up makes most sense for a Euro network like EE.
