As per law, every retailer and hotel in China still needs to accept cash, but yeah, shit is easier with these payment apps, including ride hailing, booking hotels and buying train/plane tickets. WeChat even has its own brainrot short video app that allows you to goon at sluts while you pay for your food.

But this is literally the direction the entire world is moving onto. Cash is so yesterday and if the government already knows all about me, I also want to have the advantages of it, like paying with my hand or face.
Make no mistake, once the West adopts Palantir, you will have Chinese styled surveillance WITHOUT any of its perks and conveniences.
