BEIJING, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- About 621 million people used mobile payments in China as of June, up 37.88 million compared with 2018, according to a report from the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).

A total of 633 million people made online payments as of June, 32.65 million more than the figure of December 2018, said a report from the CNNIC, published earlier this week.
