Isn't that entirely the point?

When you have a roaming charge it actually comes up as a call from the
subscriber's network to a foreign number - ie the number of your phone on
the host network. So it looks as though you've been calling china, but
actually that's the charge for the roaming call -inbound- to you.

All AIUI, of course :)
