CCTV News: Recently, the "Several Measures to Support the Cultivation and Construction of International Consumer Center Cities" was released to support Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Tianjin and Chongqing to accelerate the cultivation and construction of international consumer center cities and create a globally attractive consumption environment. The first stop is to check in to some business districts in Beijing to see how they can facilitate payment and promote the integration of business, tourism, culture and sports consumption.
I heard that because of payment barriers, foreigners dare not travel to China? The reporter came to a business district in the Beijing Embassy District to see the first inbound consumption-friendly business district in the country.
Walking in the business district, foreigners coming to shop can be seen everywhere, and mobile payment guides are posted or placed in stores.
Foreign consumers said: "I use Alipay and WeChat every day to bind my Chinese bank card." "I think it is very convenient nearby. It will be a bit tricky to get to China at the beginning because it is difficult for me to use many applications, such as filling in the delivery address for takeout, so I asked a Chinese friend to help me set the delivery address. But once it is set up, it will be easy to use."
The reporter learned that seven major international mainstream card brands such as Visa and Mastercard can bind China Mobile Payment Software, and can hold overseas e-wallets in 13 countries and regions and scan the code to pay directly. In other words, foreigners only need a mobile phone to visit the business district.
In the food street, many restaurants are equipped with Chinese and English menus.
When I came to a Mexican-style restaurant, the staff were busy welcoming waves of customers in bilingual.
Help foreign friends to enter the countryside and enjoy payment convenience. Today, Beijing has created more than a dozen "inbound consumption-friendly business districts" including Blue Harbor, Wangfujing Street, and Sanlitun.
The business districts that reporters will visit in the next stop will have an indissoluble bond with the Olympics. Huaxi live Wukesong, which is the basketball court for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the ice hockey court for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Sports elements are everywhere. As soon as I arrived at the business district, I took two steps and the reporter saw an open-air basketball court, shopping and playing basketball, and it should be good.
After playing basketball, having a meal, and then listening to the concert, the gymnasium has become an ocean of music.
In recent years, Beijing has also held various international activities to effectively promote the development of the consumer market.
