Hello, where are the first batch of pilot cities of the central bank's digital currency? Do you think they are well deserved super first tier cities "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen"? I want to tell you that it's not all right. Except Shenzhen, the other three cities are Cheng, Suzhou and xiong'an new area. At present, Shenzhen is the earliest city to launch digital currency. On October 9, Shenzhen issued 10 million digital currency. 50000 people, 200 yuan per person, can enjoy the welfare, which is distributed to everyone free of charge through the way of wagging number. Here, I can only envy you. The implementation of digital currency is so fast. The friends in the pilot cities are lucky. I just want to watch you win the lottery

the first batch of pilot cities are selected in these four cities, which is the first step for digital currency to go to the whole country. When it matures in the future, it will be promoted to more pilot cities. So don't worry, just wait. Even if our city is not a pilot, it doesn't matter. Next time it will be our city. The pilot is just to test the stability of the system, and we don't have a great chance to get the red envelope of digital currency. There are so many people in Shenzhen, and only 50000 numbers are selected. Here we would like to express our support and thanks to the cities selected as the pilot cities of digital currency

Digital currency, I believe you are no longer unfamiliar. With the continuous implementation of the use of digital currency, digital currency has been graally integrated into the society. In the near future, digital currency is likely to replace paper money. In fact, the so-called digital RMB refers to the legal digital currency not yet issued by the people's Bank of China; Digital money electronic payment & quot DC/EP,Digital Currency Electronic Payment{ RRRRR} although digital currency pilot is only carried out on a small scale now, we believe that digital currency will be closely related to our life and we will not be separated from digital currency before long

Li Bin, director of the macro Prudential administration of the people's Bank of China, disclosed on April 12 that the pilot test of digital RMB will be launched successively in Shenzhen, Suzhou, xiong'an new area, Cheng and the future Winter Olympics scenarios by the end of 2019, and six pilot test areas will be added in October 2020, including Shanghai, Hainan, Changsha, Xi'an, Qing and Dalian at present, the pilot scope of digital RMB has been expanded in an orderly way, and the application scenarios are graally enriched

the number of participants, the number of transactions and the exchange amount of digital RMB pilot test are generally small, and the use scenarios cover many fields, such as living expenses, catering services, transportation, shopping and consumption. At present, digital RMB is generally in the pilot test stage, and there is no timetable for its official launch

status is equivalent to cash RMB

according to the official definition, digital RMB is the legal tender in digital form issued by the people's Bank of China, which is operated by the designated operating institutions and exchanged to the public. Based on the generalized account system, it supports the loose coupling function of bank accounts, and is equivalent to banknotes and coins. In other words, digital RMB can be simply equivalent to cash RMB, only in different forms, but with the same legal compensation as cash

legal compensation means that any unit or indivial can not refuse to pay all public and private debts in China with digital RMB. For the compensation, the central bank's digital money research institute director Mu Changchun has a more popular explanation in the "get" course. "We see that now the private payment agencies or platforms will set up various payment barriers. WeChat can't use Alipay anywhere, and Alipay can't use WeChat. But for the central bank's digital currency (Digital RMB), as long as you can use electronic payment, you must accept the central bank's digital currency. "

In today's technology environment, especially in China, there are very good technologies in many payment fields. Especially after several financial payment procts or platforms launched by Tencent and Alibaba, they are also a way of payment that helps many Chinese enterprises. These also bring a lot of convenience to the people of the whole country

we also hope that RMB can continue to develop all over the country in the next few years, which is not only the continuous improvement of China's international status, but also reflects China's scientific and technological progress, which is a new model for financial security procts, and also hopes that other countries can use it for reference to promote the development of global finance
