If you want to label Huamei, "convenience" must be the first one. It is one of the most popular cards in Mainland China, and its biggest advantage is that it is the most convenient.No need to run the whole thing offline. As long as you have an ID card + passport in hand, you can complete the account opening at home even with a video, which is a boon for people who are afraid of trouble.

More practical is its "hidden skills":When used with Pacific Century Securities, it can skillfully avoid CRS information exchange, which is friendly to privacy-conscious friends; and there is no fee for depositing funds with ACH (a local transfer system in the U.S.), so the small amount of money saved adds up to a large amount of money, which is quite fragrant in the long run.
