      Making such an infrastructure change is such a heavy thing to do that frankly even if we would assume that China is somehow benevolent (an absurd claim imho but let’s assume), it wouldn’t be worth it.

      The only alternative is a real European implementation.

        At least from the wikipedia article, seems UnionPay can be used wherever Discover is accepted, as they have an inter-operative agreement.

        It’s true it is an alternative, but it doesnt seem like a beneficial switch either.
