@metrouk: After Typhoon Yagi hit the province of Hainan in China and disrupted the power supply, it seems hundreds of residents are unable to buy anything without their phones... Alipay and WeChat pay are the two main payment apps used in China, with only 3.7% of the money in circulation across the country being cash. This has already raised issues for tourists and the elderly- who are less accustomed to these apps. But this natural disaster has now raised concerns around the reliance on electricity supply in an ‘almost-cashless’ society. #china #typhoon #yagi #naturaldisasters #cash #cashless #wepay
🙄Cashless doesn’t mean they don’t use cash anymore, it’s just like you rely on credit card, if the card machine won’t work you still have to pay with cash.

Common issues anywhere in the world when there is flood or natural disaster. Even if you have money, the shop may not be opened or their items already destroyed by flood. Just have contingencies such as cash, some key food, power bank, portable analog radio to get ready for any natural disaster to ride through the tough period . Not just in China
