Now they are offering the chip and signature card and the representatives told me I absolut can use Amex card in China, but I don't trust these representatives very well, I want to hear advices from you guys.
Thanks.
Spend a fair bit of time in Beijing and Shanghai.

No problem at hotels, major stores and restaurants.

I use Uber instead of Taxis so goes straight onto Amex.

Amex used to be an issue in Europe but again all the major resellers/restaurants accept it now.
