Is China included in TIM plans?

Not in the standard plans of the TIM price list we checked. In China you pay a pass, a daily charge or a price per MB.

Can I keep my TIM number in China?

Yes. In China, keep the TIM SIM for calls and texts and use the travel eSIM for data. Turn off data roaming on the TIM line so it does not use data.
