Not sure if things has changed but 1 year ago my brother in law has opened an account in bank of China 中国银行 while he was on a 1 year traveling visa. You may want to try with another bank

And no, we’re not trying to spread rumors :)

I am curious what type of "traveling visa" was that, because a tourist visa don't work for me. Also Chinese government change policies all the time and rollout instantaneously. Whatever works 3-months ago don't mean it works now.
