BEIJING (China Daily/Asia News Network): China has upgraded its digital renminbi (RMB) payment services as part of the country’s efforts to improve the profile of its digital currency and make the payment process more user-friendly for foreigners.

As mobile payment has become the dominant means of payment in China, such steps will offer foreigners a better experience during their visit to or stay in the country, experts said, adding that more measures are expected to further promote the digital fiat currency.
