    Yep , people pay by facial recognition in shops now too.
    Like the biometric passport Gates we have at airports.

    We already have it , all passports are biometric now and there is a big push for us to have ID to go online .

    The Chinese can still go to pubs and restaurants without I D and pay with cash they are more free than us at the moment.

    They locked down for 3 months and now it's business as usual.

    The biggest notes are ¥100 about £10 and they have ¥1 notes and coins.
    It's too much of a pain in the arse to carry wads of notes for pocket change so they pay on their phones for nearly everything.

    Most of us are doing it out of convenience here too or contactless.

    Last time I spoke to family in Wuhan they told me that the word on the street is countries rolling out the Covid-19 jab are carrying out mass genocide of their own people.
    They are going to invade Taiwan soon and the CCP are hyping up the people to take over as the number 1 super power .

    When we did that eat out scheme thing last year all food and drink had to be bought through the phone .

    Even Wetherspoons wouldn't serve you at the bar using cash or card.

    The bar staff only bring orders to your table.
