A Guangzhou-based startup called BingoBox has built a network of 300 fully automated convenience stores. The free-standing glass boxes, about half the size of a 7-Eleven, stock a similar assortment of merchandise, all of it labeled with RFID tags.

BingoBox started in 2016 and has raised about $100 million from investors led by GGV Capital and Fosun Capital.
