So i did this once in the summer of 2022 and it actually ended up being quite easy. Looking at Alipay at the end of 2023, they might have taken away the option to send money internationally. It appears to only give you the option to receive money. This seems to be the case both on my international app and my friend’s Chinese version. It’s funny because my bank actually discouraged me from submitting all the paper work and just to ask a Chinese friend to do it for me. Why do they make it so hard for us :/

In reply to Michael.

Hey Michael, glad it was useful so far. Here’s what I know:

1) I haven’t heard of any changes in the ability to send money out of China. That’s not to say it hasn’t happened, I just haven’t heard of it.

2) For any income you receive, the employer should be able to provide proof of tax payment. For any other income (sale of an asset, etc.), you should be able to go to the tax bureau to get this proof.

Hello josh

Thank you so much for taking the time to carefully list out the instructions on how to do this. I just want to know a couple of things.

1. If the lockdown of china due to Covid / China INCREASing the expulsion of foreigners has had any reported effects on a FOREIGNER’S ability to send money out of china (iow) have you heard of any changes?

2. How can i provide proof of tax if the situation arises?

tRUe, no more international service with alipay. I guess the noise of chinese financial sector opening up is just another bs info with a lot of smokescreen.
