Had mine (ICBC) for about 3-4 years, spent 1.6 million RMB so far (some business expenses), the limit is 50,000 RMB and has been from day one, but they refuse to increase it, EVER, because I am a foreigner.
Worse still, I have two cards, but the balance is shared between them, so if I spend 20,000 RMB on one, the limit goes down to 30,000 RMB on both cards. The only way to avoid this is to have cards with different banks if you can. I have a CMB card too, 30,000 RMB limit.
