It may sound daft but I've found that often the cheapest and securest way is to send cash by registered post.

....I bet your local postoffice won't carry RMB!!

It's have to be ordered and then you pay their rates etc....but might work out quite cheep I suppose...

Hi,

So....which is the most secure (IF any)??I would think bank transfer would be the cheapest and most secure. You will get a commercial FX rate on the transaction and being interbank the banks will be able to trace the money from you to the destination. Western union will screw you on the FX, the fees etc. You may also be able to get a local ccy / local issued cheque drawn from your bank to pay them. I have done this with HSBC before, they have issued me with a US based USD cheque to send to someone in the US for payment.
