ok, I think I will try another method next month when I stay at China
I have a card that come with a bank app showing transaction in real-time. I will settle the bill using this card and check what currency it posts, if DCC happens then I will request it to be voided.
I will try to get permission to film or take photo of the card terminal screen, let's see if this can help other traveller to avoid DCC trap.
