Xiong\u2019an New Area, a state-level new area in Hebei, China, is seeing the use of onchain digital yuan payments, according to a circular issued by the Xiong\u2019an government. The announcement details that Xiong\u2019an subcontractors and builders are being paid using the central bank digital currency (CBDC) via the People\u2019s Bank of China and the new area\u2019s development management committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Xiong\u2019an New Area Pays Contractors in Digital Yuan<\/h2>\n

It seems workers in the state-level new area in Hebei, China also known as Xiong\u2019an New Area, are being paid with China\u2019s CBDC. Xiong\u2019an government officials published a circular which described the project\u2019s testing goals. According to the announcement<\/a>, the People\u2019s Bank of China\u2019s (PBOC) Shijiazhuang office and the new area\u2019s development management committee are involved in the wage pilot system.<\/p>\n

The statement stemming from the Xiong\u2019an New Area, which explains its paying builders in onchain digital yuan payments, follows the recent statements from the director-general of the PBOC\u2019s Digital Currency Research Institute.<\/p>\n

The Xiong\u2019an New Area is bustling with contractors working on buildings, Xiong\u2019an railway station, Beijing\u2013Xiong\u2019an intercity railway, expressways, G45 and G18, spring afforestation projects, and Beijing Daxing International Airport.<\/p>\n

The director-general Mu Changchun explained<\/a> on Friday, at the Lujiazui Forum in Shanghai, that the digital yuan would be \u201cinclusive.\u201d Mu\u2019s statements follow the recent report<\/a> that shows the CBDC is not seeing wide acceptance in China.<\/p>\n

The PBOC\u2019s Digital Currency Research Institute director-general stressed on Friday that the digital yuan will be able to leverage all kinds of wallet software and physical payment vehicles as well. Mu remarked that the different wallets will satisfy the unique types of Chinese residents utilizing the CBDC. China\u2019s central bank has also launched even more \u2018red envelope\u2019 digital yuan lotteries in Beijing<\/a> and Shanghai<\/a>. Hong Kong will also be able to connect with the digital yuan as well, according to a recent report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Xiong\u2019an New Area has always been considered a \u201cmillennium strategy,\u201d since it was introduced by the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China in 2014. The Xiong\u2019an government\u2019s circular explains that builders in the region are being paid wages via the Blockchain Fund Payment Platform. The new area has an abundance of workers building at work sites like the Beijing\u2013Xiong\u2019an intercity railway and Xiong\u2019an railway station.<\/p>\n

Vast amounts of city-wide construction takes place in Xiong\u2019an, as the new area saw a flood of Beijing investors purchase real estate in the region in recent years. This caused a housing bubble in the Xiong\u2019an New Area and local officials imposed a temporary ban on new real estate sales. The digital yuan trial is aimed at paying wages to the development sector by \u201ccomprehensively improving service capabilities and optimizing service experience,\u201d the circular notes.<\/p>\n

The first set of digital yuan payments have been directed at the contractors working at spring afforestation projects in Xiong\u2019an. The Bank of Hebei is also collaborating with the digital yuan trial members in Xiong\u2019an. A rough translation of the circular further describes the digital yuan appropriation from a subcontractor\u2019s public wallet to the builder\u2019s private digital wallet in batches. The protocol \u201cgreatly simplifies the intermediate payment process, and significantly improving the efficiency of wage payment.\u201d<\/p>\n
