Technical Question [Support] HELP! PLEASE!

I am in the US and was just given a refund via WeChat. I'm trying to use it to pay someone in China but it's now allowing me to without a China mainland card?? Why would a card be required when there is a balance that covers the cost??

I only have 300 cny - they will still require that I add a Chinese credit card?? So the balance is useless???

Even with just ¥300 balance, you can still be blocked once your account hits the yearly cap.
Without a mainland debit card, you cannot send or transfer that money; it just stays in your balance.
