Chinese bank chiefs are looking to start 2024 by driving up “cross-border” digital yuan spending. Per the Haikou Municipal Commerce Bureau (via Hainan News), the tourism hub of Haikou has begun issuing over $706,000 worth of “offshore tax-free coupons” for digital yuan-paying customers. Haikou is also known as Coconut City and before the coronavirus pandemic welcomed some 83 million visitors a year.

The banks have attempted to remove friction for digital yuan consumers by allowing them to claim the vouchers in-store.
