I want to try to pay my China Mobile bill with Discover. Not being in China, my ICBC account is running low on RMB...
As online payments are generally processed directly by the issuing bank, rather than through an intermediary like UnionPay, I don't think this is possible.

If you have a way of paying taobao merchants you can recharge your China Mobile account through that. They'll even give you a discount.
