When you want to pay in an establishment, they don’t ask “cash or credit card?” the consumer automatically unlocks their phone and shows a QR code generated by the application. There, when you meet someone, they don’t ask for your business card, your Instagram account or your phone number they ask for your WeChat. There is nothing more common in the Asian country than this super-app, which is used for absolutely everything, everyday. In China’s case, what is impossible to imagine is life without a specific app: WeChat. Many of us cannot remember what life without smartphones was like.
