China Banks

Consider using Chinese banks in China, as International credit cards often get blocked, due to "suspicious transactions". Travelers sometimes ignore the fact that China is huge country and so when you appear in several provinces from your home bank they start to suspect is it really "you', then your card gets blocked and what to do?? Solution is to carry sufficient amounts of cash or just start a bank a/c with China's big four:
