We are living in the digital era.
Digital technologies are changing our life.

paper money
WeChat, Alipay…

China’s digital currency
The text mainly introduces:
China’s new currency—digital currency

electronic Chinese Yuan
III. Scanning
E-CNY has the same function as paper currency except that the form is digital.
Digital currency can replace Alipay and WeChat payments.
E-CNY is more secure.
E-CNY users’ privacy is better protected.
The processes behind the transfers of money are different.
EP:
The receiver can’t receive the money directly.
The transfer goes through the third party.
E-CNY:
The receiver receives the money directly.
The payment process is free of risk.
After upgrading, you can use e-CNY in addition to other electronic payments.
IV. Further thinking
Why is China developing digital currency?
It’s designed as a replacement of the Reserve Money system, cutting back the cost and friction of bank transfers.
It can reduce the risk of counterfeit money transactions as well as money laundering. Regulators can better monitor digital currency transactions.
E-CNY can also reduce the costs involved in maintaining and recycling banknotes and coins.
Furthermore, the issuance of e-CNY is conducive to promoting the internationalisation of the RMB and reshaping the current cross border payment system.
