I traveled to China over the summer, and this was a small inconvenience but when pressed people could never turn down a sale. One lady pulled cash out of her purse to make change and the deal happened. Its good that they are looking into a solution to this problem though.

It’s amazing the amount of cognitive dissonance one must acquire in order to fully appreciate traveling in China. Must have been similar for tourists in 1935 nazi Germany, while concentration camps were in full swing.

  “Full swing” is a bit of an overstatement. They were definitely known, in place, and operating, but Wikipedia says they held 21k people as of 1939. I feel very comfortable in asserting there are many more people in similar camps in China today.

  There are a lot of places in the world that are pure cash only too. You won't be able to use your card either way.

  America’s been responsible for the death of 500,000 innocent Iraqi civilians since the start of the war not to mention countless Afghan and other middle eastern citizens. We currently hold tens of thousands of border crossers in detention camps where they are held in squalid conditions. Most of us still live here.
