When can I expect to be able to have my completely China based business use stripe? I love that alipay can be integrated seemlessly but I really don't have any reason to pay to convert to USD only to pay again to move my money back to RMB.
I've heard similar issues with startups I work with in SE Asia and East Africa. In a similar vein to the Alipay integration you mention, I was also recently meeting with a handful of startups in Nairobi, and we were discussing how an integration with M-Pesa would be awesome, in particular as Safaricom recently opened up their API.
