Calling and SMS to China

Question

I am unclear if I get the plan that charges by the month to make calls to China if that would also include unlimited texing? If not, is there a way to get unlimited calling and texting to China?
Also, is it possible for the person to text me back (if they do not have skype on their phone)?

Sending SMS messages is not included with any of Skype's subscriptions.  Skype Credit must be used to pay for the SMS messages you send, at the rates shown at the "SMS Rates" link at the bottom of this web page.
If you want to provide a number that someone can use to reply to your SMS messages sent from Skype, you can set a mobile number (excluding mobile numbers from Japan or Mexico) to appear as the sender for your SMS messages from Skype.  You would set it up as your Caller ID number, and this requires a two-step verification process that involves Skype sending SMS messages to your mobile number.  Click on "Caller ID" and "Sending SMS" below for more details.  Unfortunately, there is no way to receive SMS messages at your Skype account directly.
