more detail is needed - has your access to your bank account been  suspended?
did you piss off your employer or something?
you do know that in China suspending access to bank accounts is a common 'punishment' for social trasngressions and a means of control.

... However, my research team did some checking before my arrival and found that only two banks here – neither of them state-owned – are accepting foreign clients with ease.

No longer can you waltz into a branch here in Beijing with nothing more than ID and get an account. In fact, tourists can no longer open accounts with most banks at all.

That’s a shame because many Chinese banks use the Unionpay system that acts as an alternative to Visa and Mastercard. Unionpay is an excellent non-US alternative if you want to diversify away from the United States and its unsound fiscal policies. ...

That's a post considering a tourists, i.e. foreigners with the short term stay in China.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before
A:Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China, it would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after arrival to China.    So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital.   -- icnif77
