No, you need to read that sentence in the context of the previous sentence: I'm talking about linking your card and your NFC-equipped phone so you can pay by waving your phone instead of your card. Doesn't link for me, and it looks like the problem is my card wasn't opened with a Chinese ID. But maybe others have a different experience.
Well it works for me with HSBC China so I guess it depends on your bank. Mind you I have only tried Apple Pay so YMMV with Android phones, e.g., Huawei Pay, etc.
