UnionPay is China's equivalent of Visa/Mastercard. It's Govt owned.

Mobile payment is mainly WeChat Pay & AliPay. However, both you'll need a China based bank account to reload your e-wallet. Or reload thru 3rd party. Not to mention you'll need data (to scan the merchant's QR code).

For WeChat account registered in Msia, you'll need a 3rd party to send min RMB1 angpow to your WeChat Pay in order to activate the China wallet. Else you'd only have Malaysia wallet.

Not sure if you your ALIPAY account open in MALAYSIA can be use in CHINA.

Yes you can. As long as you have RMB inside the account.

Buying groceries at supermarket, I just show my code to the cashier, no need data also the payment can be completed.

3)If no.2 tarak, need to find a 3rd party to topup/transfer to your Alipay.
