Payment in China will not differ from the usual scheme - a smartphone will be required

In Russia, active work is underway to ensure that citizens can pay in China using QR codes and Mir cards. This was announced by the head of VTB, Andrey Kostin.

Here we are now working in one of the most promising areas, it seems to me, is the use of QR codes, because in China this is practically the number one payment instrument

He noted that the flow of tourists from Russia to China and back continues to grow.

The Chinese have their own card, and we also need to actively work on this. We are moving towards this. There is a need here, and it will produce results.
