What bank do they have in China? A more international bank, such as ICBC might be easier than some of the others.
You can only take 5K USD out of China without declaring it.
Any individual can transfer up to $50k out of China per year. Wire fees vary by bank.
For US Banks, some don't charge wire fees if you have some amount of $$ (e.g. BofA preferred program).
