They mostly use PayPal or get paid through MCN agencies that handle the cross-border payments for them.

Likely through cross-border payout processors like Payoneer, or through international bank transfer (usually using an overseas entity or a Hong Kong bank account). Also what do you mean by "TikTok US (Douyin)"? Douyin is strictly the Mainland app, TikTok US is not Douyin. They're both under the same parent company but two entirely different platforms.

Please create a PayPal account to receive money into your account.

A lot of creators partner with MCNs to simplify compliance and payments.
The agency receives funds and settles locally.

TikTok US and Douyin are separate systems with different payout structures.
Most cross-border creators usually rely on supported payout providers available in their registered region.

Bro, I'm in the same situation as you. They have their own bank and can register for PayPal.

Chinese creators on tiktok usa usually get paid out through international platforms like payoneer, paypal, crypto or even alipay. From there, they just transfer that money into their local bank account back in china, simple as that.

Separate third party banks which help them that way. You might want to ask a free lancer and see what they are doing in that regard so you have a better idea.

Good question, but first, it's important to clarify that douyin and tiktok US are separate platforms, a chinese creator can't receive payments directly from tiktok US because accounts are region locked and require local verification.
If the creator is in China but has a tiktok US account using a VPN, the problem arises when trying to get paid, tiktok requires the use of paypal, and in China, the rules are very strict, your information must perfectly match your ID, and transferring dollars to a local bank involves exorbitant fees, without a US or UK bank account, the process is a nightmare, the cleanest way for chinese creators is to operate through a company registered in the US or UK to open a dollar account, others use payoneer or worldfirst, which provide virtual dollar accounts and convert to yuan with less loss, there are also those who sign up with an agency in the US that receives the money on their behalf and transfers it to them, keeping a commission.
