Apple announces Apple Pay partnership with China UnionPay, expects 'early 2016' launch
This is tremendously huge considering that UnionPay (closely linked to Chinese government?) is surpassing Visa and MasterCard in China in terms of growth. The affluent and middle-class will be empowered to do NFC Touch-ID payments for this in the high-density China cities. Already #2 player, MasterCard is #3.... Apple Pay with the fingerprint touch-ID will add to the cool factor for high-secured payments. Those who haven't been to China cannot relate to the huge spending by the Chinese esp the wealthy (and show-offs). Incredibly good news for Apple and UnionPay !!!
