China is upgrading its tourism game with a tech-first approach to welcome globetrotters! The Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced plans to eliminate the 'reversed digital gap' that leaves foreign visitors struggling with mobile payments. 'We want tourists to feel as at ease as locals,' said Minister Sun Yeli during the annual Two Sessions political gathering.
