You need a phone that supports GSM 900 and GSM 1800 in order to use it on China Mobile or China Unicom. In contrast American GSM network run on 850 and 1900 MHz. So what you need is a quadband phone.

Buying a prepaid phone in the US is a bad idea as it very likley would be locked and if it's a cheap one it may even lack support for GSM 900/1800. I would rather buy a phone in China where prices should be lower.
