Credit Cards and China

One of the biggest hurdles for ecommerce growth in China is the low number of Credit Cards in circulation, this is also 1 of the most common questions I get asked by westerners when talking about "the web" in China.

So over my 50 RMB set lunch today, I read a great article on a report by McKinsey & Co titled "Banks struggle to profit from plastic"

The number of credit cards in China surged to 120 million at the middle of this year from 3 million two years earlier.
