Former Vice President of the People's Bank of China: The policy orientation to resolutely contain virtual currencies, including stablecoins, has been completely clarified
On December 5, Wang Yongli, former vice president of a Chinese bank, published an article titled **"Why Is China Resolutely Halting Stablecoins?"**
