·South China Morning Post·Impact 3/5 · Notable

China's offshore tax crackdown is set to end on October 22, marking a deadline for Chinese high-net-worth families to disclose and settle certain offshore-trust tax liabilities. This move aims to curb capital outflows and tighten the government's grip on international assets. However, it may inadvertently fuel a digital dollar boom, as wealthy individuals seek alternative, more secure ways to manage their assets outside of China. This could have significant implications for global financial markets and the adoption of digital currencies.
