中国小女孩在商店里用智能手表进行移动支付引发外国网友热议

It's a wechat payment. It's probably a photo of the wechat qr code from the parent on the watch.
Though I wonder that it's a bar code and not the qr code.

这是微信支付。可能是微信的二维码。但是我认为那应该是条形码而不是二维码。

Yep. So basically what happens is that China is skipping over the entire stage of credit card / debit card proliferation where the US is in. They didn't have that, and instead of playing catch up, leap-frogged right ahead to massive proliferation of mobile payments. Wechat has basically monopolized the market. Now, I'm not even going to discuss the kind of deal they must have had with the government in order to gain such power. I just want to point out that, while they are touting the "death of cash" being such an advancement, every purchase, every movement of every citizen is now fully recorded and trackable.

是的。中国基本上跳过了信用卡和借记卡扩散时期，而美国现在还处于这个阶段。中国没有去追赶美国，而是直接跳过来到了移动支付时代。微信基本上已经垄断了市场。我不想谈论微信是不是从政府那里获得支持才有了这种影响力。我只想指出虽然中国称自己的无现金支付是多么的先进，但是中国公民的一举一动都完全被记录下来，可以追踪得到。

you don't have to use it for everything. so the pros are the gov knowing what they buy for groceries and small shit like that.

你没必要用微信来做一切事情，所以好处在于虽然政府可以追踪，但是知道的都是一些小事情，比如你去杂货店买了什么等等

How does that benefit you in any way?

那对你来说算是个好处？

I imagine that it could sometimes help the police track down a criminal.

我认为那应该有助于警方追踪罪犯吧。

It also helps that they integrate payment for utilities. Something could easily be as successful in the US if the US decided to play favorites.

而且还可以支付水电费之类的。如果美国也厚此薄彼一点的话，那么移动支付也能在美国取得成功。

The payment system in the US is archaic. Mag stripes and signatures are a joke, these days.

美国的支付系统真是太过时了。如今，磁条卡和签字真的是个笑话。

I was New York City in February trying to take the train to New Jersey and card wouldn't work on that particular machine because my card has a chip in it. As a Canadian I was mind blown that some places still swiped cards and no pin was needed.

一月份我在纽约，想坐火车去新泽西，而我的卡片在那个机器上刷不了，因为我的卡片里有芯片。作为一个加拿大人，这件事真是让我想不通，某些地方竟然还在刷没有PIN码的卡。
