Key Points
- This bill stops money services businesses from using or processing China's official digital currency. These businesses include places that exchange currency, cash checks, or send money to other people.
- The plan aims to keep the Chinese government's digital money out of the American financial system. This is meant to protect national security and prevent a foreign government from tracking financial data.
