Policy:
This week, the National Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPPCC) reported the results of the investigation into the serious violations of discipline and law by Xiao Yi, a former party member and vice chairman of the CPPCC Jiangxi Provincial Committee. After studying at the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and reporting to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for approval, it was decided to give Xiao Yi the sanction of expulsion from the party; the State Supervisory Commission gave him the sanction of expulsion from public office.

Jiangxi Province emphasized that it will carry out a comprehensive investigation of the problems of virtual currency "mining" and "two high" projects launched in violation of regulations, and resolutely prevent "wearing new shoes and walking the old road" under the banner of new ideas, high technology, and digitalization.
Judging from the proportion of "mining" of Jiangxi's virtual currency, the proportion has been decreasing since January 2021. According to data from the Cambridge Alternative Finance Center, from 0.43% in January to 0.3% in June, the main virtual currency mining accounted for 0%, but there are still some scattered and hidden virtual currency "mining" in activity.
Zhu Youping, deputy director of the National Information Center and the China Economic Network Management Center, previously told a reporter from the "China Times" that there are also many illegal virtual currency "mining" activities in provinces with a low proportion of virtual currency "mining", or with black and gray industries. Related, such as electricity stealing and mining, this must be rectified. It can be seen from the "Xiao Yi, the former vice chairman of the Jiangxi CPPCC was double-opened" that our country will never condone the illegal behavior of protecting virtual currency companies "mining".
