Wise is currently the quickest way to send money home using Alipay. Once you set up your Wise account you can upload money into the CNY section through Alipay to send globally (See example video below)

Swapsy would be the second fastest way. You can also send money through Wechat or Alipay. This one requires the receiver to have Zelle through their bank or Paypal . Also this bank needs to use Zelle for transfers. Click the Zelle link to see a list of U.S. banks that use Zelle.

If you need to send Euros to a European bank account you can also use Wise. You can deposit CNY, USD, or many other currencies into the Wise APP then convert it into Euros and also send to a European bank account all from the same app.

Pros and Cons 

The plus side of using Wise or Swapsy is that you avoid the hassle of going to the bank, the wait time, interpreters ( aka bothering your colleagues), collecting your tax papers.  

With Wise you can get your money within 6 hours .  
With Swapsy it can be more like 16.    

Wise is an account itself.  Depending on your country of residence Wise can create it's own card for you to use online.  You can also accept payments with it and do business with it.  

Sending money home from China can be pretty daunting.  If you use the bank in China it can take you hours of sitting and waiting and it can be a major headache if you can't read or speak Chinese.  All banks need a copy of your current year taxes and for some foreigners who may be studying don't even have a bank account or you may not be able to prove your taxes for whatever reason.
