You can topup your WeChat wallet using Singapore bank accounts. And Singapore allows foreigners to open bank accounts. So i find it weird that you can't do the same in China... I guess the great firewall extends beyond just internet and encroaches even on the payment systems...
It's a different wallet. Even Wechat Pay for Hong Kong is completely separate, although as of 2019 Hong Kong residents were able to maintain both currencies. Not sure if Chinese residents can have a HKD wallet. There was also talk of being able to use either wallet for purchases and have the currency exchange happen automatically, but I imagine that got forgotten about during COVID as the border was shut for so long.
Oh yea, cause the SG wallet is in SGD and need to pay in CNY...
I speak fluent sarcasm and broken logic. | I would agree with you, but thæn we’d both be wrong.

If you have 500K CNY in bank ,you can try to apply HK bank account in china.
And 50K free to exchange between HKD and CNY in the bank annual.
You can exchange more HKD if you should pay more for education propose, Health cost etc.
