Guess who the next foreign acquirer is- look at option 2 on this terminal found at Carl's Jr. Shanghai (I have no clue what option 1 is either). What makes BEA China special (and puts them firmly in my good books) is that they apparently process transactions as RMB by default: My slip from them shows no US$ amount or forex rate. Seems like you have to push the DCC button to make it happen, as it should be.
This looks like the ICBC "DCC" at Long Bar Waldorf-Astoria. DCC shows up, but can be opted out of (or even default RMB).
