Let me suggest a general framing of the issue as involving the following two approaches: A: The specification incorporates an assumption that the Payee role would present a set of acceptable payment instrument choices to the Payer; B: The specification incorporates the flexibilty that either the Payee or the Payer role would present a set of acceptable payment instrument choices to the other party. RE: "The use case below specific to China is just that – specific to a regulatory and country preference framework." The illustration was intended to portray dealings between any "large" firm and any "small" firm. Instead of "Alibaba" I could have said "Target" or "Carrefour" and the relationship would be consistent: the larger firm in both Payee and Payer roles typically establishes the set of acceptable payment instrument choices.
