China has surprised the world in terms of technology, especially its infrastructure and payment system. Glimpses of such powerful Chinese technology often go viral on social media. One such video has been shared by Pakistani content creator Rana Hamza Saif on Instagram, which has created a buzz on the internet. The video showcases payment technology, proving that China is living in the future.
Payment is made through palm only The video was shot at a local grocery store in the city of Juzhou, where Saif and his friends went shopping. The video showed a friend making a payment through the 'Palm Payment System', which shocked everyone. Saif explained that if one's palm is registered, he can make a payment just by placing his palm over the scanner. After a successful transaction, some friends could not believe this new technology, while others applauded it. The caption of the post reads that China is living in 2050.

I have seen this scenario before Not only Saif's video but earlier RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka also shared a video of the same technique on X. In that video, a woman described her experience of paying with her palm in the Beijing Metro. That said – living in China, I'm already used to cashless payments like QR codes and facial recognition technology, and now I can pay with just my palm without touching anything.
