It has reportedly begun trials in several cities, including Shenzhen, Suzhou, Chengdu, as well as a new area south of Beijing, Xiong’an, and areas that will host some of the events for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

Sina News said the currency would be used to subsidize transport in Suzhou, but in Xiong’an the trial primarily focused on food and retail. Some reports also claim businesses including McDonald’s and Starbucks have agreed to be part of the trial.
