Preparations for China’s digital RMB began as early as 2014, and in 2017 China’s central bank clearly announced that it would fully issue the digital currency. The launch of the digital RMB is a major reform and innovation in the historical development of China’s currency. China’s issuance of a central bankdigital currency will help enhance the status of the People’s Bank, strengthen the effectiveness of monetary policy, improve macro-prudential management capabilities, and promote cross-border RMB payments, etc. Up to now, China has started pilot tests in some cities, such as Shenzhen, Xian, Chengdu Suzhou. Currently, China’s digital RMB has been tested for the public, with features such as unlimited legal compensation, moderate anonymity, national statutory, dual offline payment, no cost of transaction and centralized management. With the rapid development of scientific information technology and the intensification of international competition, the digitalization of currency has become an irreversible trend. The purpose of this study is to identify the practice of digital Yuan and its role in Chinese digital economy development. The discussion tasks of this paper can be summarized as follows. Clarify the definition of digital Yuan; assess the operational model of digital Yuan; evaluate the operating framework of digital Yuan; identify the features and merits of digital Yuan application. This research adopts case study of China CBDC and literature analysis methods to analyzed the concept, characteristics and design principles of digital RMB. Then it investigates the role of digital RMB for the development of China’s digital economy, which will provide an important basis for understanding and advancing the domestic research on the central bank’s digital currency. For example, digital Yuan plays a key role in facilitating data productivity, driving digitalization of public payment scenarios and opening a healthy digital economy system.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Под влиянием финансовых технологий и диджитализации цифровая валюта стала актуальной темой обсуждения, а также является одним из текущих приоритетов исследований и развития центрального банка Китая. Подготовка к выпуску китайского цифрового юаня началась еще в 2014 г. Запуск цифрового юаня - крупная реформа и инновация в историческом развитии китайской валюты. Выпуск Китаем цифровой валюты центрального банка поможет повысить статус Народного банка, усилить эффективность денежно-кредитной политики, улучшить возможности управления на макроуровне, продвинуть трансграничные платежи в юанях. Китай запустил пилотные проекты в некоторых городах, таких как Шэньчжэнь, Сиань, Чэнду, Сучжоу. Китайский цифровой юань был протестирован для общественности с такими характеристиками, как неограниченная законная компенсация, умеренная анонимность, национальный статус, двойной автономный платеж, отсутствие стоимости транзакции и централизованное управление. С быстрым развитием научно- информационных технологий и усилением международной конкуренции цифровизация валюты стала необратимой тенденцией. В данном исследовании на примере Китая анализируются концепция, характеристики и принципы разработки цифрового юаня. Выявлена возрастающая роль цифрового юаня для развития цифровой экономики Китая. Например, цифровой юань играет ключевую роль в содействии производительности данных, стимулировании цифровизации сценариев государственных платежей и формировании эффективной системы цифровой экономики. Целью данного исследования является выявление практики использования цифрового юаня и его роли в развитии цифровой экономики Китая.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>digital Yuan</kwd><kwd>role</kwd><kwd>digital economy</kwd><kwd>China</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>цифровой Юань</kwd><kwd>роль</kwd><kwd>цифровая экономика</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Allen, F., Gu, X., &amp; Jagtiani, J.
