The current government and its authorities are claimed to be antagonists of crypto assets. In a recent speech during an economic forum at Tsinghua University, Zhu Guangyao, the former finance minister, said that the nation should pay more attention to cryptocurrencies.
He further notes, as reported bySina News, “It does have negative effects, and we must fully recognize its risks and harm to the capital market, but we must study the latest international changes and policy adjustments because it is a crucial aspect to the development of the digital economy.”
