Listen "China's plan for a digital currency will have global implications"
Episode Synopsis
The Chinese Government, and its Central Bank, are currently experimenting with a digital currency. The hope is that it will make financial transactions faster, more efficient and cheaper for government, business and ordinary citizens.

But whether Beijing's experiment succeeds or not will depend on matters of trust, surveillance and international appeal.
