They stop it for tourist due to money laundering

unless u are there with certain purpose eg business or student

Open bank account in China is not easy now

They reject u straight away if u dont have working visa there

But I heard depend branches,some customer services say can some say cant,depend your luck.
The process takes about 1hr plus not so fast as alot things to fill.
I just went in last Sep,to update my online token also face alot problem.luckily still manage to do

And u need a local address,a mobile for online sms if u login

Also Alipay has controlled its limit since last June,if u want to use big amount,u need to have 5 banks

If u wan transfer from Alipay to local,only China account can,banks and alipay cannot trf out by foreigner accounts

Going to hk in 2 weeks. Banks there also supported by alipay right?

Not support. And HK bank doesnt allow bank opening for foreigners without proper visa. Tourist visa is not accepted
