I know that it can be a PITA to get money from ATMs using foreign cards in Japan, but this is NOT the case in China. That having been said, when confronted with multiple options, I generally avoid banks that have terms like "rural", "agricultural", or "farmer" in their names as well as those which are based in far flung places. (My success rate is still greater than 50% when going this route, but if there is a Big 4 option nearby, I try that first.)
