This only works if you are not the receiver!
I find it "easy" - just time-consuming & tedious - to send money to myself but the bank clerk asked me this time "Fill in your NZ address";
Me: "I don't have a NZ address. My home is in China";
She: "That can't be possible"; tears up application form and leaves it blank!
If you do want to use your Chinese debit cards back home NAB accepts Union Pay symbol (eg Agriculture Bank & Bank of China) and BNZ does likewise.

It seems that if you are exchanging RMB to USD and sending it...it would be easier to give the receiver your bank card to make withdrawals and you make deposits with your bank book while in China. The Bank of China's bank card works at Citibank ATM's and HSBC when I was in Sydney...notice I say "bank card"...not a credit/debit card
