The strongest analysis, China driver's license can drive in the United States?

Traffic laws in the United States are formulated by states, so whether China can drive in the United States with a driver's license also depends on the states.

Some states, such as New Jersey, stipulate that foreign short-term visitors, such as tourists, must hold a driver's license issued by the host country plus an international driver's license in order to drive legally. China is not a party to the international driver's license. So New Jersey doesn't recognize China's driver's license. If the police find out, they will be punished for driving without a license.

Pennsylvania, next door to New Jersey, stipulates that you can drive legally as long as your country's driver's license has been valid for one year.

So "Can China drive in the United States with a driver's license?" Depending on which state you're asking. The laws of each state may change. The safest way is to plan to check the websites of DMV (Ministry of Motor Vehicles) in all states along the way before departure.

Moreover, the above provisions are aimed at non-residents. If you are a green card holder, you must hold a local American driver's license. China's driver's license is invalid.
