Visa / MC with China UnionPay symbol on it?

I have heard that certain Visa and MasterCard credit cards have a partnership with China Unionpay. Does anyone know of such a card since many places in China only take China Unionpay CCs. In order for it to be useful for me, it would have to be a Visa or MasterCard that I pay off in the US but that has a China Unionpay symbol on the back such that stores and restaurants in China will accept it.

Yes, it is. With the symbol of China Unionpay on it, the Visa and Mastercard can be used in many places in China. You can apply for one with your passport in China.

Rena, thanks for your reply. To make sure I understand your answer, are you saying that a solution is to apply for a CC in China? Actually, I’m looking for a US issued Visa or MasterCard that has some sort of partnership with China UnionPay and thus has the China UnionPay symbol on it so that the Chinese companies assume its China UnionPay or at least are willing to “run” the card. It sounded like this approach may be an option but I need to find a specific Visa or MasterCard to apply for. If you or anyone knows of that I would appreciate knowing of that specific card. Otherwise, I will likely do what you said as a last resort. But a US issued one where I pay in USD and all the other conveniences is strongly preferred. Thanks again.
