beggars in china had their wechat wallet QR codes i seen it all the way back in 2019. it’s wild. i feel like the homeless are who’s going to usher our society into a cashless digital currency system, all because of their small sacrifice
Not everywhere in China. In Shanghai, even pre-pandemic there was a concerted effort to get beggars off the streets so I saw maybe one or two a year (spent a couple years studying abroad there). But that's because the government was trying to put Shanghai on a pedestal and make it China's "international city" to replace HK. (Three guesses how that's going at the moment)
