Alibaba’s Jack Ma said the group’s effort to build Tianjin into a “cashless city” is part of their goal. And they want to join in the development plan of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. He said Alibaba would invest more in Tianjin in several aspects, including finance, cloud computing, logistics, and cross-border imports.

On June 28, Fujian’s Fuzhou City also said that it will become cashless with Alibaba’s cooperation. After Fuzhou and Tianjin, China will have a total of four “cashless cities”, after the cities of Hangzhou and Wuhan wore the cap of cashless thanks to Alibaba’s Alipay service. With Alipay you can pay with your mobile phone.
