Apple Pay is not supported in China. Set up and use Apple Pay on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Apple begs to differ:
http://www.apple.com/apple-pay/
Apple Pay is available in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and China.
Apple Pay participating banks and store cards - Apple Support
Banks in Mainland China
With that said, the Region in the iPhone must be set to a Region that supports Apple Pay. i.e China.
Settings->General->Language & Region->Region Formats->Region
Interesting, as the document I linked from does not mention China. But, then, it wouldn't be the first time that two different support documents were in conflict.
In checking a little further, I see the Apple Press Release is dated December 18, 2015, and the date on the support document is December 8, which could very well explain the conflict.
I had to set region to China to get the option to add card up. I still get problem when trying ot add my BOC card though...
It seems some articles have not been updated.
