China has gone far technologically and she is not relenting. China are inventors of so many aids on earth today. 

They work day-in-day-out to proffer solutions to nagging problems of human race. Recently, China Central Bank has proposed to launch its own digital currency.

Before now, 2014 precisely, the people’s bank of China revealed that it has been studying the development and implementation of the digital currency, putting into consideration the social and economic implications especially trading to other countries.

 Though, the official time of the introduction of the digital currency has not been pronounced owing to some fundamental findings on how it will fit into the society after the displacement of the conventional currency.

Some of the assumed benefits that gives the digital currency an edge above the native currency is that the digital currency would, probably, reduce the high cost of circulating the native currency; also enhances transparency in transactions, deters money laundering and tax evasion and other money manipulation offenses.

Bitcoins facilitate transactions without any middlemen like banks and other financial agencies. Transactions are made electronically without necessarily unveiling ones identity.

Despite the controversy, bitcoin has found a seat in China economy; China is one the largest bitcoin exchanges in the world.

 If China launches the digital currency, it would help to maintain the outflow of capital and regulates transactions in a transparent way.

This discourages investors, thus, making the nation's economy dwindle.
 According to the china central bank,” A digital currency could enhance the central bank's control of money supply and circulation”. 

This statement affirms the efficacy of the bitcoins. Some government are keen to adopting this new phase of exchange means.
