Can I open an account as UK national with a Chinese BTC exchange
Yes, you can. There is no nationality restrictions on BTC Exchanges, try to open an account on Lakebtc and BTCchina, both located in Shanghai.
and withdraw money to a US denominated Chinese Bank Account which is not in my name?
But China Bank did.
Don't worry, mostly China Bank are multi-currencies account currently, so you can withdraw USD to any chinese bank account directly. But the premise is that the Chinese Bank Account must be consistent with your registered name on Exchange, which means that you may borrow ID card from your chinese friends to open an account with bitcoin exchanges (you see,
there is always room for negotiation in China )
Who can do this?
could be your good friends, not me anyway.
Thank you for your help. Sorry if the translation software is funny!
