【題目】
While Westerners were getting used to paying with credit cards（信用卡）or bank cards at the very beginning of the 21st century, most Chinese people still liked to pay in cash (paper money) out of habit. However, today, Chinese people may be leading the world in mobile payment, mainly WeChat Pay and Alipay.
Foreigners feel amazed when Chinese people buy everything with their phones. At least, this was the case for Lim Swee Say, Manpower Minister of Singapore.
When Lim was waiting in line to buy some snacks at a street stall(貨攤）in Shanghai, he saw other customers show their phones and take the food without giving over any cash. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using mobile payment. "Singapore is actually backward（落后）" , said Lim
The popularity of mobile payment in China has pushed many foreign countries and agencies to accept them. And several reasons might make this mobile payment spread in the whole world.
● Quite a few Western mobile payment services require businessmen to install（安裝）expensive
machines before customers can use them. While using Chinese mobile payment, all it takes is a QR code（二維碼）and a smart phone.
● Nowadays, almost everyone has a smart phone, even teenagers. And the mobile payment has helped people save the trouble of taking wallets with them. It's not only safer, more convenient, but also environmentally friendly.
● Most shops in China, from a tiny shop in villages to a huge shopping center in big cities, all offer the service of mobile payment. And by the end of last year, Hangzhou Public Transportation System installed the mobile payment machine on 8,000 downtown buses.
● With Chinese travelers throughout the world, it's now common to see the familiar green or blue QR codes in tourist sights around the world.
