Android Central Question

I have a problem with my Note 9. Whenever I'm in China (I work here a lot), my Samsung Account logs out and cannot log in again. The notification keeps popping up even after I clear it. It wants to remain logged in at all times or complains. I don't use anything by Samsung so have no need for it but the damned thing cannot be switched off. The problem disappears as soon as I arrive back in Europe.

It's almost as if the GFW of China is not allowing connection to Samsung servers or maybe Samsung rejects requests from China? But then, I get the same thing through a VPN and a SOCKS proxy, so I'm very confused by this. Could it be a time zone bug?

I've followed every guide out there, Samsung services cannot be fully switched off or removed on a Note 9.
