Can't subscribe because i'm french but living in china !

Hi,
I'm French, with French VISA card registered in France and/or French paypal account, but i'm living in China for work. I'd like to simply subscribe to the montly program, and i can't ! It's saying that it's not open in China... Even when i'm using a strong VPN with a French server. Do you really have to crack the softwares as all the chinese do or is there an alternative ? I want to register because i need to use lightroom mobile for my work.
Keep me posted!
Thanks.
Sylvain

I am working in China too, i get paid in China and pay my taxes in China and have my main bank account in China. 99% of Chinese (are forced to) use Union Pay Cards, not Visas. It's also very difficult to get money out of China and pay by my UK Visa card (not that i would want to pay 55% more than the rest of the world).
If you are one of the rich 1% (or work for a "fortune 500" company) the Chinese banks will issue you a combined Visa & Union Pay card or a combined MC & Union Pay card. I am not one of the rich 1% and even if I did have a Chinese Visa card, all RMB transactions must be carried out through the China Union Pay clearing system, so the Visa part of that card would be useless.
Anyway the link you provided is 100% Mandarin, while I can read and understand 1000-1500 Chinese characters (only another 4,000 to go), reading all of that jargon just gives me a headache.
From what I have read so far, Adobe don't have an online store for China (and their 1.4 billion inhabitants), obviously like all adobe marketing plans, it is very well (sarcasm) thought out.
Anyway, while Adobe twiddle their thumbs and contemplate wheather an internet population of 700 million (and growing fast) could be a worthwhile business strategy, I am here adobeless, I want to buy your CC but you make it impossible for us. Instead I am told to call some call centre where they don't speak English and my Chinese just isn't good enough to understand all of the jargon. I call an english speaking centre and they tell me they can't answer questions about China Mainland sales.
I've asked for email adresses, but in true adobe style, adobe insist they only use phones despite running an internet based business.
So, I am off to take a leaf out of Adobe's book and start selling cars that are only available for collection on my deep sea submarine. If you have any questions about my car business please contact me via morse code only.
