Why only Chinese people love to scan code to pay?

Nowadays, mobile payment in China has become a very common payment method. Except for the elderly and children, most people use mobile payment. After all, mobile payment is more convenient and faster than cash payment. But such an advanced payment method is rarely used abroad, why?

First of all, the payment software used in mobile payment should be supported by major domestic banks. For example, Alipay or WeChat in China has cooperation with every bank, no matter which bank's account number, can transfer funds with these two software. However, in many developed countries, many of their banks are private enterprises. If they cannot be given certain benefits, they will definitely not choose to cooperate with them.

Second, compared to other countries, we Chinese are more likely to accept new things. I do n’t know if my friends have heard of the “Red Flag Act”. It is said that when the first car was produced in France at that time, it was met with opposition from all the carriage owners, who were afraid that the appearance of the car would make them lose their financial resources. In response to these people's protests, the French government issued a decrepit decree that every driver must have a red flag in front of him. Such a policy has hit the French automotive industry hard.

But this will not happen in our country, and when new payment methods such as Alipay and WeChat are launched, they will soon be loved by users. In turn, many merchants have also chosen to use Alipay or WeChat to collect payments, so that for merchants, it also reduces the collection work and improves work efficiency.

Friends who have enjoyed the benefits of mobile payment will love this payment method. However, many netizens abroad think this is a bit unacceptable. In contrast, they prefer to pay with cash.
