Hey there! Have you ever used your phone to pay for things? π± Well, something exciting just happened between China and Vietnam! π¨π³π»π³
China and Vietnam have agreed to work together to make paying for things even easier using QR codes. Do you know what a QR code is? It’s that black and white square you can scan with your phone camera! π·β‘οΈβ¬βΌοΈ
So, what’s the big deal? With this new partnership, people from China and Vietnam can use their phones to pay when they visit each other’s countries. Imagine visiting Vietnam and buying a cool souvenir, and you can just scan a code to pay! ποΈβ¨
This agreement was signed by some big banks from both countries, including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (that’s a long name!) and the Vietnam Bank for Foreign Trade. They all got together to say, “Let’s make QR code payments work across our countries!” π€
This means more convenience for travelers and helps businesses, too. Plus, it supports using local money, so they don’t have to rely on other currencies like the US dollar. π΅β
Isn’t it awesome how technology brings countries closer together? Maybe someday, paying with QR codes will be common all over the world! π
