Twenty-eight-years-old German-born Thomas Derksen, an online celebrity with millions of Chinese fans on Weibo and Meipai and other social networks, recently posted a public letter to German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Weibo and Facebook, calling for the promotion of a cashless economy in Germany.

Having lived in Shanghai, China, for ten years, Derksen has witnessed the rapid development of Chinese innovation, such as bike sharing, mobile payment, and the expansion of various Alibaba products.

In his public letter to Merkel, Derksen spoke highly of China’s booming cashless economy in particular. “No matter if I want to pay the taxi driver, buy fl owers for my wife, buy a bottle of water, or even pay my electricity bill, I can do all that with my mobile phone,” he wrote. “Mobile payment not just helps us save time, is safer and more convenient for customers and vendors, but also is more sanitary and economical.”

Derksen made a daytrip from Shanghai to Hangzhou in 2016 using only his mobile phone for payments. His story, which is posted on Weibo, was widely shared, and attracted tens of millions of Chinese fans.

According to a recent survey, 70% of mainland cititizens say they don’t need cash for everyday life. Alipay, the most used mobile payment system in China, plans to make China cashlessy within fi ve years.

“As a qualif i ed bank clerk in Germany, I experienced how important cash still is for the Germans,” said Derksen. “Germans are very conservative, fearing the potential risks of new things. Chinese people, on the contrary, are very willing to try something new.”

Most Germans are used to paying with cash, and no more than fi ve percent of Germans have used mobile payment.
