When Frida Cai left Beijing to study abroad in 2013, China s financial tech boom was just beginning. She used a debit card for her big expenses and carried cash for everyday spending. By the time she came back, just three years later, everything had changed. I tried to buy a watermelon from a street seller, she recalls, and he told me that he only took mobile payments through the WeChat app. Ms Cai now says she cannot even remember the last time she got cash out of an ATM, but it was more than a year ago.
