Other than my hotel, my Fidelity Chip and signature nor Amex Costco worked no where. So a month back I got myself a Sams Club Master card. Today I received pin generation instruction and it says "Your new Sams Club Mastercard includes chip technology and can be used for, cash access at ATMs, and purchases at PIN secure terminals." I am guessing this is a Chip+Signature and can also do an EMV Chip+Online Pin.
I have several trips coming up to South and Central Asia and China in the next few months. Hopefully I will be well prepared to conduct business without these hassles. I have a very old Discover card with no chip. I will carry that too. My UNFC card will hopefully be approved by then.

So my guess that the 50% terminal number is way too high may just be proven out after all.
What kind of trouble were you having? I'm not sure if C&P will help you in China because I was under the impression that Visa/MC acceptance there was very low.
