Spotify in China

[Cyphis]

How do you use Spotify in China? The dropdown of countries does not include China. Must I be on an accepted country's VPN to use Spotify from China? Also, my debit card is Union Pay which doesn't seem to be accepted by Spotify either. Must I use paypal if I do not have a foreign (accepted country's) debit card?

Hi there,
Welcome at the Spotify Community!

Could you please go to this link and check which country it says? Does it show the country you're currently living in, or something else?

If you see your current country, but you are not able to change it via the my account section, I would suggest you to get in touch with Spotify so they can manually adjust it.

You may get in touch with Spotify via their Twitter page (@SpotifyCares), or by following this link to send an e-mail.
If you send an e-mail, please check your inbox (and spam box) to check for their automatic reply. Once you get it, please reply to it immediatly (even if it's from an no-reply e-mail addres) to make sure an Spotify employee will get back to you as soon as possible.

You are correct, Spotify is not available in China so you won't be able to use Spotify there unless you have a payment method which is registered in a country where Spotify is available so you can subscribe as a resident of that country.
