So exemptions from the VPN detection/shutdown mechanism can simply be negotiated by those with the political clout to do so?


Indeed. The point of the GFW is to prevent political unrest. MNC's workers are unlikely to be fermenting dissent at work. Deploying the GFW on their connections doesn't really aid the government as a whole in terms of staying in power, but it does mean that MNCs will get pissed off and may reduce their presence in China.


Absolutely.
