China’s Digital Currency Adding Financial Data to Digital Authoritarianism

“China is pursuing global dominance in financial technology.

Through this project, Beijing is aiming to advance China’s technical and economic prowess, strengthen Chinese Communist Party (CCP) control over the Chinese population, and counter U.S. financial influence around the globe.
