China's central bank has unveiled a new action plan, with an upgraded digital yuan framework that took effect on Thursday. Under the new system, e-CNY wallet balances can accrue interest, similar to current account deposits. CGTN's Aaron Liu notes that the upgrade is reshaping how people use money, and the e-CNY is not just a payment tool but also a core aspect of the financial system.
