Instead of paying in cash(现金),customers now pay for their goods and some kinds of bills simply by typing a short password into the Alipay or WeChat Pay app on their mobile phones.Shared bikesChina has surprised the world with how quickly shared bikes are widely used. Nowadays, bike users can simply pick up or park the bike on the street through GPS and smart phone apps. China's leading bike-sharing companies,Mobike, has been opening their overseas markets in Singapore, the UK and the United States.Online shoppingWith around 751 million Internet users, China has been the world's largest and fastest-growing online shopping market.
