Are you sure you won't have to opt-in for using Tor or VPNs when they get this shiny new filter list in place? If they pretend to "protect children" (note, they never care what happens offline or with child poverty [1]), it wouldn't surprise me when the Tor public network and VPN services end up on that list as well. Once that filter lives, it gets extended with further filtering of "bad things". I'd also argue, even if the Great Chinese Firewall was opt-in, it would still serve its purpose - fewer readers get critical news and fewer people engage in political activity the current so called representatives don't approve.
