And Hong Kong?
Sadly it is too small of a place to be mentioned.

While it was a little slow and late, as of 2019 most if not all of the major developed countries have Apple Pay, apart from South Korea. Now they need to work further along to their promise of e-Wallet.

Which means getting rid of, Discount Cards / MemberShip Cards, ATM Cards, Student ID / Non - Government Other ID, Purchase Receipt Stored on iPhone with Apple Pay instead of printing it.

Along with working on Apple Cash around the world.

I know Apple is likely already working on it, but progress has been slow.
