According to analysts, the system will use AI to instantly block mirror sites hosting banned content and, more ominously, to identify the people creating those mirrors. The move would further restrict the space for dissent and independent online information in Russia.

In remarks recently published by Qiushi, the Chinese Communist Party’s flagship journal used to convey policy intentions, Xi Jinping called for a “powerful currency” widely used in international trade, investment, and foreign-exchange markets. What’s new about these remarks is not their intended ambition, but rather how clearly those ambitions are stated to the public. Xi paired this plan with calls for a stronger central bank, globally competitive financial institutions, and tighter control of systemic financial risks.

Officials argue that banknotes used in bouquets are often “folded, rolled, glued, stapled, pinned,” or otherwise damaged, which they say compromises their integrity, defaces the national currency, and increases the cost of replacing damaged notes.

The regime increasingly relies on restrictive controls over civil society’s monetary flows to punish dissent. In 2023, the regime froze the bank accounts of institutions affiliated with the Catholic Church, which led a Nicaraguan seminary to cease operations. Since 2018, thousands of NGOs have been forced to close or had their assets seized for alleged financial violations. In Nicaragua, authoritarian financial control is a primary way to stifle civil society.
