Two Chinese citizens show their digital identification cards in the messaging app Weixin, or WeChat, of Tencent, on their smartphones in Guangzhou city, south China's Guangdong province, 27 December 2017. The southern city of Guangzhou issued China's first digital identification card on Monday (25 December 2017). Initially, citizens will be able to use the virtual ID for government services, such as registering a company with the commerce authority in Guangzhou. First, WeChat rendered paper money all but obsolete in China, with its easy-to-use digital wallet accepted in nearly every corner of the country. Now, citizens will be able to leave their identification (ID) cards at home as well. Tencent's widely used WeChat app has gotten the green light to help issue digital ID cards to citizens in the southern province of Guangdong, according to the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. *** Local Caption ***
