A Belgian friend of mine was complaining that his Belgian bank card (which he used to take cash out in China) was no longer working. He called up the bank, and was told by the attendant that the company had deemed China "unsafe" and was no longer allowing money to be withdrawn here. However, apparently HSBC ATMs can still be used by some cards.
Anyone who knows more about international finance know what's going on here?

My bank back home recommends cutting credit cards in half upon returning from China and having new ones. Not a good solution for us who are here long term.
