> Are sim cards easily swapped?

Very easily. Apple even specifically introduced dual-sim iPhone for China.

> How easily can a burner be used?

You need to bring your ID to a telecom to get a phone number legally. But I don't know if there is a black market for burner sims.

(Last time I've been there was a few years ago so take it with a grain of salt.)

Burner sims have been a thing of the past in China for quite some time. The official rationale I believe is to curb telecom fraud, which in turn left China and started doing their business in southeast Asia.

Because they don't support eSIMs there.
