The digital yuan, China's state-run digital currency, represents a fully centralised and programmable monetary system, where the government can track all transactions in real time, impose restrictions on the use of money and even freeze funds without judicial intervention. This technology, already implemented in China, eliminates financial anonymity and gives the state unprecedented control over the economy and the lives of its citizens, while progressively reducing the use of cash.

Thus, the digital yuan raises the question of whether we are facing a monetary revolution or the consolidation of a system of total control.
