When crypto wins (rare)

You have no bank / privacy need — USDT no KYC bank trail, but agent still KYC phone.
US bank blocks CNY MCC 7399 (8% of cards, see card fail guide) and you have USDT.

When crypto loses

Don't for ¥1k top-up: 1% fee = $1.41 + 40 min wait vs Wise $0.43 6 min. ERC20 1%+$8 gas = 1.8% total. Only use TRC20 if you already hold USDT and bank blocked. Our 40-min TRC20 arrived after domestic ¥8 window risk (24h).
