## What it is
A community-maintained guide repository explaining how to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, X Premium and similar AI services from mainland China using UnionPay cards via the US or Turkey Apple App Store. It also covers using API relay stations and checking IP cleanliness.

## Use cases
- subscribe to ChatGPT Plus from mainland China with a UnionPay credit card
- get a cheaper ChatGPT Plus subscription via the Turkish Apple Store
- pay for Claude Pro or Claude Code without an international credit card
- use ChatGPT and Claude APIs through relay stations in China
- test whether my IP is clean enough for AI service signups
- troubleshoot common issues when subscribing to AI services from China

## When to choose
- you are in mainland China and lack an international payment method for AI subscriptions
- you want step-by-step guides for US or Turkey Apple ID subscription workarounds
- you need current community-maintained tips on API relay usage and IP purity checks

## When to avoid
- you already have a straightforward international payment method and can subscribe directly
- you need official support or guaranteed-compliant payment channels
- you want software or a tool rather than documentation
