Is it still possible to get a SIM card in China as a foreigner?

I haven't done that but when I asked about that last year, they were very well willing to sell it to me in the main office of china telecom or some other company I don't remember which. I'd have to pay around $100 in rmb for it because it was a requirement - a deposit which would be topped up to my sim-card. All of $100 or nearly all, I don't remember. In other companies it's more or less the same. I decided I didn't want a sim-card for $100 even if it was a deposit and thus I didn't buy one. But I could have. It was in Guangzhou.

In Hong Kong you can officially buy a sim-card for 50HKD without your passport. Money - sim-card.
