UnionPay International Pilot Launches Cross-Border QR Payment Program Between China and Vietnam

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2025 – In December 2025, UnionPay International (UPI) and the National Payment Corporation of Vietnam (NAPAS) officially launched a pilot program for cross-border QR payments connecting China and Vietnam. This program aims to further enhance the mobile payment experience for Chinese tourists in Vietnam and foster closer economic, trade, and cultural exchanges between the two countries.

In October 2024, UPI and NAPAS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cross-border payment cooperation witnessed by the leaders of both countries. In April 2025, UPI, NAPAS, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), and Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank, VCB) signed a four-party cooperation agreement in Hanoi, confirming their joint commitment to advancing the China–Vietnam QR Code payment interconnection within the year. The launch of this pilot program marks a significant milestone in enhancing cross-border payment connectivity between the two sides.

After the pilot program is launched, Chinese tourists will be able to make payments at major shopping districts, tourist attractions, and dining and retail merchants in Vietnam by scanning merchants’ VietQR Global QR codes using the UnionPay App and UnionPay-partner Bank Apps, enjoying a seamless and cash-free experience — just like they do in China.

According to the merchant acquisition plans submitted by participating institutions to NAPAS, over 30,000 merchants are expected to be enabled for QR code payments by the end of 2025. In 2026, NAPAS plans to further expand participation to all the member institutions including banks, payment institutions and major local e-wallets thereby broadening the acceptance coverage.

In the future, UPI and NAPAS will also enable Vietnamese users to scan UnionPay QR codes in China using NAPAS member bank apps, achieving two-way connectivity and offering residents and travellers from both countries a more seamless cross-border payment experience.
Larry Wang, CEO of UnionPay International stated:
“Vietnam is an important destination for Chinese tourists and a key market for Chinese enterprises International Business. As economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries deepen, the China–Vietnam QR code interconnection will enhance payment convenience and boost regional financial cooperation.”

The project is a key step in UnionPay’s ASEAN strategy to strengthen cross-border payment networks. Together with NAPAS, UnionPay International aims to build an open and secure payment ecosystem, improve ASEAN’s digital payment infrastructure, and support financial inclusion and connectivity.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating the Company’s business, the Company considers and uses certain non-GAAP measures, including primarily adjusted operating income/loss, adjusted net income/loss and adjusted basic and diluted net income/loss per ADS, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted operating income/loss is defined as operating income/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses. Adjusted net income/loss is defined as net income/loss excluding share-based compensation expenses and unrealized holding gain/loss in investments (net of tax effect). Adjusted basic/ diluted net income/loss per ADS is defined as basic/diluted net income/loss per ADS excluding share-based compensation expenses per ADS and unrealized holding gain/loss in investments per ADS. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based expenses, unrealized holding gain/loss in investments and impairment loss on intangible assets and goodwill (where applicable) that may not be indicative of the Company’s operating performance from a cash perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical performance and liquidity. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in the Company’s financial and operational decision making. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges and unrealized holding gain/loss in investments (where applicable) that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the Company’s business. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

SOZO and KADOKAWA Announce Major Strengthening of Strategic Alliance to Expand Japanese Pop Culture Experiences in Asia


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 December 2025 – SOZO Pte Ltd has announced a major milestone in its strategic alliance with KADOKAWA Corporation (KADOKAWA), as a consolidated subsidiary of KADOKAWA’s global group network. This collaboration will strengthen efforts to bring high-quality Japanese pop culture experiences to fans across Asia, combining SOZO’s expertise in large-scale event production with KADOKAWA’s extensive content legacy.

With the strengthening of the alliance, SOZO will continue to operate as a neutral and independent platform, working closely with partners across the entire industry. The current SOZO leadership and management structure will remain unchanged, ensuring continuity, stability, and an unwavering commitment to welcoming all Japanese companies, creators, and IP owners into the Asian region.

“We are excited about the tremendous possibilities ahead and the new doors that have opened for us,” said Shawn Chin, Managing Director of SOZO. “At the same time, our mission remains unchanged — SOZO continues to be a neutral platform that welcomes all partners across the ACG ecosystem.”

“KADOKAWA is delighted to welcome SOZO, our trusted long-time partner, into our Group,” said Takeshi Natsuno, Chief Executive Officer of KADOKAWA Corporation. “We see tremendous synergy between our companies, and this partnership represents a long-term commitment to growing the Japanese pop culture ecosystem together. By combining KADOKAWA’s content and business strengths with SOZO’s regional expertise, we believe we can deliver even greater excitement to fans around the world.”

Two Powerhouses together: Bringing a Diverse Media Mix to the Region

Headquartered in Singapore, SOZO is a leading industry pioneer in the region as the ‘bridge’ connecting Japan to Asia. Its diversified business divisions in the entertainment sector include producing concerts for top Japanese artists in Southeast Asia, hosting exhibitions and events for popular ACG and anime titles, and developing and distributing merchandise.

Since its first event in Singapore in 2008, Anime Festival Asia (AFA) has in the past expanded its reach across Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and even Japan, serving as a platform for Japanese pop culture, centered on anime, comics, and games. Held over 32 times in numerous cities across Southeast Asia, the event has attracted close to 3M attendees since it started back in 2008. It has firmly established itself as one of Southeast Asia’s largest anime events. Last year’s AFA Singapore 2024 drew approximately 130,000 attendees over 3 days. The event features expansive exhibition grounds featuring both commercial and community exhibitors, extensive stages housing talk shows from behind-the-scenes guests (Voice actors, Directors, Producers, Industry Staff), as well as top-tier Japanese Performing Music Artists on a world-class concert stage.

Furthermore, the Southeast Asian market is experiencing a rapid surge of interest in Japanese pop culture, concurrent with remarkable economic growth. The popularity of diverse media, such as anime, manga, games, and music, is expanding. In recent years, collaborations with companies outside the entertainment industry have also increased. The presence of Japanese content is strengthening year by year.

Recent projects delivered in 2025 alone include major ACG festivals like AFA Singapore 2025 and AFA Indonesia 2025, as well as concerts for leading Japanese artists. These range from YUURI’s shows in Singapore, Bangkok, and Hong Kong, to YOASOBI, Ryokuoushoku Shakai, the Ghibli Original Singers Symphony in Singapore and Jakarta, and many more.

KADOKAWA’s business strategy focuses on promoting “Global Media Mix with Technology” – with the stable creation and extensive global distribution of a diverse portfolio of intellectual property. In Southeast Asia, KADOKAWA operates in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. With a broad range of entertainment businesses, including the translation and publication of comics and light novels, operating an e-book platform, planning and distribution of merchandise, operation of direct retail stores, and film distribution.

SOZO and KADOKAWA have collaborated in the SEA region for more than 10 years. In 2014, KADOKAWA Group’s DWANGO Co. Ltd co-hosted an overseas edition of its large-scale cultural event Niconico Chokaigi, alongside SOZO’s Anime Festival Asia. In 2024, DWANGO launched the international creator collaboration program, Asia Creators Cross, with SOZO. DWANGO also exhibited at and was a sponsor for Anime Festival Asia Singapore 2025. KADOKAWA has also deepened its partnership with SOZO through initiatives such as anime stage presentations at Anime Festival Asia.

Together, SOZO and KADOKAWA look forward to shaping the next chapter of Japanese pop culture in the region, creating new opportunities for partners, creators, and fans alike.
