Update: The Skype terminated this service for calls to China few months ago. 
Great news!! Skype allows users to make unlimited number of calls to China without limitation on calling minutes. You may log on subscription webpage to choose the country you want to call the most. If you subscribe the service of one-year unlimited calls only to China (instead of selecting all countries) from “Unlimited World” on this webpage, then the monthly rate will be reduced down to $4.00/month or so (I know it’s $4 because we purchased it), which is a pretty good deal if you need to call home a lot.
Actually, the so-called unlimited time does have limitation. The bottom of introduction webpage for the “Unlimited World” feature says that as part of fair usage policy, you will get up to 10,000 minutes calling minutes per month (of course, the company hates abuse behaviors), but 10,000 minutes are pretty much about 7 days long. It should be enough for most of people.
PS: If you are sharing this service with some other people, try not to let several people log in the shared Skype account at the same time, otherwise, Skype might suspend your purchased service due to usage abuse because it is easy for them to detect that computers with multiple IP addresses are using the same Skype account.
