I've gotten the same answer from banks that you have. I don't think it's possible to have a joint bank account here.

My wife is Chinese and we have a joint bank account with HSBC in Hong Kong. Don't think that the HSBC bank here in Shanghai can offer the same, because they are in general just as useless as the other local banks here.
