Avangate, an e-commerce provider, has signed a partnership with
Tuji Group, a Chinese technology and marketing company, to expand
its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

Michael Ni, cash management officer and senior vice-president
for marketing and products at Avangate, said:

“The Asia-Pacific region represents a major portion of the
global software market, with China and Japan representing over
USD293bn of the world’s IT spend.”

be the world’s largest e-commerce market by 2015.

Moreover, China has already surpassed the US in terms of number
of cards usage, with more than 2.4bn credit and debit cards in
circulation, according to Mercator Advisory Group research.
