Apple Pay Coming to China Through Partnership With China UnionPay

[Shirasaki]

I personally hope I can use Apple Pay extensively, given the fact that I still hold a good number of bank cards.
No matter where this would be available, I would always like to try out this brand new payment system.

A little late but early enough. It's a massive step. You can't go to a mall and pay at the Nike Store with Wechat but you will be able to pay with ApplePay. Also in the big cities many taxis have credit card terminals.

People won't be using ApplePay to order their five 2L bottles of water from the guy downstairs but I really don't think Apple cares about that and they're obviously not after fruit vendors on the street.

This is meant for main consumers areas and apple certainly isn't too late for that.
