China not the IDL memeber. He does not recognize IDL
from other countries, while does not have IDL service to Chinese Driver's License.
Yes, you can used your Chinese driver's license to drive a car for short time.
The reason I do not recommend you to do that is the insurance fee for a foreign driver's license in USA is much higher than with a USA driver's license. So why don't you try to get a local driver's license. It is pretty easy, within several days, you can get a learner's permit. With that you pay much lower insurance than with your Chinese license.
