But Apple said it will allow the use of Apple Pay on Windows computers and Google's Chrome browser later this year. Those customers will be able to scan a code and approve an Apple Pay transaction on their phone.

Sounds more like a chrome extention which isn't supported on android phones.

So curious as the USA takes no position on the sovereignty of Senkaku/Diaoyu. Clearly it is a regional matter for Japan and China to negotiate.

The US also supports Japan and state the islands belong to Japan, as does the rest of the world, except China.
