The document discusses NFC adoption in China. It notes that NFC is expected to reach mass adoption by the end of 2012, with over 4 million point-of-sale terminals supporting the 13.56 MHz contactless standard. The major mobile network operators in China are leading large-scale NFC rollouts for contactless mobile payments, supported by partnerships with payment companies. The market considers China Unionpay the leader in this space due to its role in the national interbank payment network.

12. Unionpay versus VISA
China UnionPay is at the center of a NFC standardization initiative in China. The technology they roll-out into the
mass-market will probably be used by the majority of ecosystem players (result from interviews conducted).
They have the leading position in China, as the sole domestic inter-bank bankcard processor, operating the sole
domestic bankcard acceptance in China due to local regulation.
