China uses the yuan, officially called the renminbi and written as CNY. Locals often just say “kuai” in daily conversation. The bills feature Chairman Mao and landmarks from across the country. While cash is still around, China is one of the most digital payment–friendly places on Earth — apps like WeChat Pay and Alipay dominate. The yuan’s value is managed by the government and plays a big role in global trade. You can easily exchange major currencies like U.S. dollars or euros in big cities. The renminbi reflects China’s massive influence in the world economy.
