CHINA UnionPay, China's only bank card network operator, will complete the linking of its national electronic payment network next year by moving into the four remaining provincial level markets.
Branches will be set up in northwestern Xinjiang Uygur and Ningxia Hui autonomous regions as well as Gansu and Qinghai provinces to complete the national payment network, said Yan Qiang, assistant president of UnionPay, while launching a new branch in Lhasa, capital of Tibet Autonomous Region.
