I wouldn't touch any product created by the communist party. Why on earth do you think this Yuan is free from government intervention and better than the USD?
China just wants to expand its influence in Asia to follow other countries economically, then territorially. e-CNY is a Chinese experiment, it is not widely accepted, it will not be able to compete with USD in the global economy.
Whom they will ask to use Asian Yuan I know with most countries they have border issues
Under the pretext of liberation from the dependence of the dollar, China is simply imposing its yuan.
The Asian Yuan seems to have the aim of introducing the use of the yuan currency to Asian countries
The name yuan already tagged to the Chinese currency and this may not be considered by other Asian countries.
Asian states clearly need to use not the Chinese digital yuan as a regional digital currency,
None of you read the article
"The researchers stated that, similar to other existing and trialed Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), distributed ledger technology (DLT) would constitute the backing of the Asian token,
which would be tied to a group of 13 currencies.
According to the researchers,
the currencies would include those of all ten Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries, as well as China's Yuan, Japan's Yen, and South Korea's Won."
This new currency - which will be used only as international trade settlement, not within the countries - is not the Chinese Yuan.
It is a basket of the currencies of the ASEAN countries + of Japan and Korea.
Those Chinese scholars were following the Euro story.
This is exactly what happened in Europe, with the currencies of the European Countries in the 70es building a basket, called ECU, a virtual currency, which later - in 2000 - became the Euro.
