As Apple Pay enters China, the country’s lead in mobile payments provides a road map of sorts

In the hot new field of mobile payments, China is years ahead of the rest of the world. But that alone hasn’t made it a lucrative business, according to WSJ

In China recently, it is commonplace to pay for food delivery, taxis, restaurant meals, movie tickets and much more with a mobile phone. For would-be disrupters in the U.S. and elsewhere, this provides a road map of sorts for how the industry is likely to evolve, as well as where potential potholes lie.

Traditional noncash payment methods such as credit cards, and even personal checks, were never widely adopted in China. Bank cards have made inroads in the past few years, but penetration is still low by Western standards. Until recently, cash was king.

This has allowed China to leapfrog traditional payment systems. In the U.S., mobile-payment providers such as Apple Pay and PayPal-owned Venmo rely on the traditional infrastructure of bank-card numbers. Not so the leading e-payment solutions in China, Alibaba-affiliated Alipay and Tencent’s Tenpay—though user accounts do need to be linked to a traditional bank account.

Apple, having agreed to its own arrangement with major Chinese banks, plans to enter this fiercely competitive market early next year. It isn’t clear what rates Apple Pay will charge merchants. WSJ Report

Chinese refiners are looking to get more product out of every barrel of oil – especially the hard-to-refine bottom of the barrel residue – over the next decade, according to a comprehensive survey of both state-owned and independent Chinese refiners. The survey was conducted on behalf of Honeywell UOP (HON), which is a recognized leader in refining technology.

China is the worlds largest importer of crude oil. Getting more useable products from each barrel is critical to their operations, especially as they seek to take advantage of low-priced heavy crude, which is significantly harder to refine, said Zhiming Huang, general manager of Honeywell UOP in China. Coupling that challenge with increasingly stringent fuel and emission standards, Chinese refineries are hungry for a breakthrough technology to enable more profitable operations by finding more gold in the bottom of every barrel.
