iPhone X A1901 in China?
I was wondering if anyone here has the T-Mobile version of the US iPhone X, model #A1901 working in Shanghai?
If you have this phone, does it work fine with China Mobile/Unicom LTE using prepaid or Project Fi?

Good call - I'm wondering the same thing.
Last year, my iPhone 7 for T-Mobile was fine, FYI.
But I don't know why I choose the T-Mobile versions - pretty sure the universal is the same price at the Apple Store. Next time . . .
When you drop $1,000 on a phone, you'd think they'd just include CDMA for you.

With Model A1901, LTE should work, but CDMA will not. I believe one of the carriers in China uses GSM so it'll work with them but not the others who use CDMA.

Model A1901 does not support CDMA networks, such as those used by Verizon and Sprint.
