Cash is still the major means
of payment in China. Credit card has not been
popularized; therefore, please be noted that you
need to always carry cash with you. The Chinese
exchange rate policy is to link up the value of
RMB with that of US dollars. The exchange rate
is fairly stable, that is, one US dollar can be
converted into 8.23RMB. Moreover, only RMB is
allowed to use within China.
Up
to now, foreign banks are not allowed to provide
deposit service in their operation in China; therefore,
you must deposit your Chinese and foreign currency
in the Chinese banks. When receiving a remittance,
you are supposed to transfer it to your account
in the Bank of China. |
