Let me create an account and make transactions but locked me out after 2 weeks – Alipay - Simplify Your Life Review

Alipay let me submit all my personal information, verify my US passport, accrue a balance, let people send me money, and make transactions without a chinese bank account for about two weeks. After two weeks they locked my account with a remaining balance and told me a chinese bank account is required. No warning that my account would be locked. I’m not able to login at all, transfer the funds out, or make transactions. I’m pretty sure this is actually theft of both my money and my personal information. I now think Alipay is a complete scam for non-Chinese citizens. As a Foreigner, I’m not allowed to open a chinese bank account and without Alipay I’m also not allowed to do basic things like order a Taxi, or eat at restaurants. Does the government give them the right to steal my funds without warning, without giving me the opportunity to withdraw the funds? Awful experience for non-Chinese citizen
