By comparing the official prices here (US)<http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5s>and here (CN) <http://store.apple.com/cn/buy-iphone/iphone5s>, the iPhone 5S costs 5288RMB in China (about 847.52USD), while in the US you can get it for 649.0USD. So, yes, it is a little cheaper, but you should consider other factors when buying a phone, such as warranty and returns. The iPhone sold in US is the A1533, which is the GSM model. In China, there are two models, the A1533, which is used for China Telecom and the A1530 (WCDMA/GSM) used by China Mobile. If you plan to use China Telecom, you can get the phone in the US and it will work.
