LOL. I don't get how your comment is at the top. People in technology field know about it.
Your question should be how China is blocking out other tech companies unless they are willing to share their user info or join a state-owned venture so they can learn your technology, process and know-how then push you out. You make it sound like no one from U.S. want China or other market.
The FACT TO THE MATTER is how other countries is either making it extremely difficult for U.S. tech company to enter or corrupted to hell that you have to pay out of your ass in each and every step of the way to do business with them.
This comment is the most retarded comment there is. PEOPLE IN TECH KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!
Personally, I don't think any country should rely on Visa or Mastercard since like the article said any countries that face U.S. sanction is basically fucked. This is equivalent of using closed source software to run your govrt.
Russia or any countries for that matter have the rights and should develop their own domestic payment transaction.
Jesus f Christ! 100% of people commenting here don't even fucking bother to read what the fuck WinJs is about before shooting off their mouth.
Footnote: You should read it first before jumping into a conclusion.
