What? Which areas? I suppose "tourists" are not allowed into govt facilities and military bases. Everywhere else is fair game.
Disturbing you have collected 8 upvotes for this utter nonsense. I challenge you to name any area of the country permanently off limits to foreigners. China is hardly perfect but what you insinuate is just BS.
While not "permanently off limits to foreigners", you might have difficulty travelling around parts of Tibet or Xinjiang for example without an official "guide".
That might be true during periods of unrest, yes, as the government is concerned about media appearances. Basically, if the disturbance is making headlines overseas, you'll have difficulty gaining access.
At any other time, though, it should be fine. It's not North Korea.
