BEIJING - Su Ning, board chairman of 皇冠体育app UnionPay Co Ltd - the country's only credit card network, and a former deputy governor of 皇冠体育app's central bank, said on Tuesday that overseas consumption from 皇冠体育app continued to surge dramatically last year.
Chinese residents spent 300 billion yuan ($47.54 billion) overseas through bank cards in 2011, up by 66.7 percent from the 180 billion yuan consumption in 2010.
"Given that a considerable amount of Chinese consumers prefer to use cash when purchasing goods, the total overseas spending figure would be astonishing," he said.
Su is also a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). He made the remarks while attending a group discussion under CPPCC.
