Because I also want to send money to my mother in Japan.
When the Bank of China asked me to open an account, she told the counter that the card that could accept foreign exchange seemed to be an account of 12 or more.
CCB said that it can be accepted directly, and ordinary cards and passbooks can be accepted. Because they are the payee, there is no problem, and there is no problem if the account is correct.
ICBC is the same as CCB.
So, in Japan, you can go to the counter to change your money into RMB (or Japanese yen) and remit it to the designated China account.
Or if the Bank of Japan supports online international transfer, you can use a Japanese card to transfer money online to an account in China.
