While China was doing DVB-T trial in 2006, my understanding is that they have developed their own standard and chosen to go ahead with that instead. The standard, DMB-T/H, is unfortunately incompatible with existing DVB-T equipment which means that my WinTV-HVR1200 which worked flawlessly in Singapore is completely useless in Shanghai.

This wikipedia post seems to indicate that China broadcasts in both standards in Shanghai, although that is definitely not what I have experienced. If anybody can shed some light on the situation, that would be appreciated.
