Commenting on the state of payment, industry veteran and
payment powerhouse, Zhenghua, said that the world
is currently embracing mobile payment. As the leader in this area, China has
the capability to help emerging markets develop and digitalise their payment
ecosystems. These markets, which account for over 60% of the countries

digitalisation.

leadership, Zhenghua observed that China is already in digital payment 4.0 and

trade, 2.0 with paper money, 3.0 with global credit cards and the current phase
of 4.0 with digital payment.
