Imagine buying groceries with just a tap of your phone – no wallet, no cash, no stress! Brazilian vlogger Rian Neves, based in Xi'an, just dropped a must-see video explaining China’s mobile payment revolution.
In response to fellow expat João Eduardo Colares’ question via CGTN’s new #AskChinaExpats campaign, Neves revealed how apps like Alipay and WeChat Pay dominate daily life: \"Cash feels like ancient history here – even street vendors use QR codes!\"
Key takeaways?
1. Seamless transactions at stores, taxis, and food stalls
2. Growing preference for digital wallets over physical cards
3. Tourists can use these systems with international cards (travel hack alert! )
With over 900 million mobile payment users in China, Neves’ guide is perfect for globetrotters, tech enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Asia’s digital future.
