    Good afternoon, Can anyone share how they receive gifts (annual or major) from mainland China? I know that in theory individuals can exchange up to $50K per year to transfer internationally, though maybe not for philanthropic purposes if it's a state-owned bank. I have also read individuals can make international purchases on a credit card up to 300,000 CNY per month. Has anyone experienced technology constraints with international credit card transactions not going through? How did you solve this? Hong Kong is an option for wealthier individuals. Does anyone have any experience with major gifts coming out of the mainland? Perhaps via a WFOE? Or perhaps raising funds that could be retained in China to finance local programming from your institution? Thanks very much. Happy to share my findings as well.
