Alipay is China's largest mobile wallet. Alipay is creating an Ambassador program to allow Chinese visitors to have a seamless, cashless experience while in the US. In 2018, 3.2 million Chinese visited the US and spent approximately $8.8 billion, and that number is expected to grow in 2019.

Thanks for your idea submission. We are currently working on expanding the BBMS platform to a number of new markets, starting with Australia and New Zealand in the next few months. China is definitely on that list as well, although I don't have a timeline I could share with you at this time, and we will make sure that Alipay is a high priority consideration for that market.
Thanks!
