Wallets are on the way to belong to the past in China thanks to WeChat.
In few months, the Chinese will no longer have to worry about having their identity cards with them, as long as they have a WeChat account (and basically, almost every Chinese has one!)
For those who are not really familiar with WeChat, it’s a Chinese multi-purpose social media mobile application software which has been developed by Tencent in 2011.
WeChat users can do almost everything through this app, including play games, pay bills, make video calls, order food, read the news, book a doctor appointment, and more. It’s basically China’s version of Facebook, but way more developed.
Today the app gathers almost 1 billion users with 60% of them who are daily active on the social platform.
In a country were Facebook, Instagram and Google aren’t part of the daily landscape, WeChat is a major actor in the Chinese digital ecosystem.
The first WeChat ID card was issued during a ceremony held in Guangzhou, South China’s Guangdong province, a few weeks ago. The service is on trial in Guangdong first and is expected to be launched nationwide during January.
The virtual identity card will function the same way as the traditional identity card issued by the state.
WeChat users will have to enter their names and ID numbers before logging in to the government network through a facial-recognition function to access an electronic copy of their ID card. Citizens can then display the “network card” on their phones to book accommodation and flights, among other transactions.
This program was born from a common project between the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau, Tencent, China Construction Bank and 9 other anonymous institutions.
The WeChat ID program could give Tencent a significant advantage on the tech war against his historical rival Alibaba. Thanks to the program, Tencent could easily gather a lot of data on its users and re-use it again for marketing purposes.
With the crazy project, WeChat is set to become even more indispensable in the daily lives of many Chinese consumers and confirm his renown of one of the world’s most powerful apps.
If the series Black Mirror already pictured a similar future in some episodes, the consequences of such a program on the users’ private life can raise some debates.

Buying a car becoming as easy as buying a can of Coke, sounds amazing, right?
Well, that’s a crazy experience you’ll be able to enjoy very soon in China.
Indeed, China’s online shopping giant Alibaba announced recently that they will open several Tmall cat-shaped vending machines dedicated to cars in 2018.
This project has been funded regarding Alibaba’s strategy to integrate its online sales platforms with offline retail.
In fact, the e-commerce company recently invested around 3$ billion in the hypermarket operator Sun Art, but this new project is one of the best examples of its strategy to date.
Alibaba said it will open two stores in January, one in Shanghai and the other in Nanjing, to begin. The plan is then to open dozens more outlets across China through the year.
First, you have to use your phone to scan any car you’d like to test, and potentially buy thanks to Alibaba’s Taobao app.
Once the app recognized the vehicle, you can select it and pick a color of your choice.
Then, you’ll have to enter some basic information, take a selfie and schedule a test drive if the vehicle is available.
According to your status in the Alibaba Membership program, you may have to pay a caution if you’re not a Super Member.
Once at one of the Test-Drive Centers, your identity is verified by facial recognition (thanks to the selfie taken before). After that, you’re able to pick up your vehicle for a test drive, up to three days or buy it directly.
To prevent the potential abuses of the system, users are limited to one test drive of each model with no more than five test drives in the first two months of the program.
“Our thinking behind the Car Vending Machine is focused on helping users solve certain problems they face in the car-buying process. To do that, we are building a physical, experiential store that offers staffless car pickup through facial-recognition, three-day ‘deep’ test-drives, and a one-stop-shop that displays all mainstream brands at once,” declared Huan Lu, marketing director of Tmall’s automotive division.
Vending machine car showrooms, although really futurist and innovative, aren’t really a new concept. In fact, one has been launched in Singapore this year, and other projects in Germany and Nashville (USA) have been established for some time.
This new move will definitely help Alibaba in his retail industry reshaping strategy, and it’s just the beginning.
