Opportunities to look out for and challenges to be aware of throughout Asia during the next few months.

How Does China View NFTs and What Are its Market Prospects?

NFTs or non-fungible tokens are a new type of digital asset that is steadily gaining popularity and dominating online media conversations around the world. In this article, we look at the status of NFTs in China. While Chinese regulators do not object to NFTs as a concept, authorities do not appear as enthusiastic over its financial use. China is also opposed to any technology function engaged in the domain of cryptocurrency.

China Launches Digital Yuan App – All You Need to Know

China has released the new digital yuan app for iOS and Android on domestic app stores. The app is available to users in 12 cities across China and will be available to foreign visitors at the Winter Olympics – but its audience will be limited. Tencent-owned WeChat announced it would begin rolling out the e-CNY as a payment option on its platform, potentially introducing the digital currency to over 1.2 billion users.

Minimum Wages In China 2022: Latest Provincial Updates

Minimum wages in China continue to rise. Starting in 2022, Henan raised its minimum wage standards from January 1, while Chongqing and Fujian will raise their minimum wage standards from April 1.

Vietnam Eases Entry Procedures for Foreign Employees, Overseas Vietnamese

Vietnam’s government has issued Decision No 450/VPCP-QHQT on easing entry procedures for foreign employees and overseas Vietnamese with relatives. This means that foreigners and overseas Vietnamese and their relatives with temporary residence cards (TRCs), permanent residence cards (PRCs), valid visa, and valid visa exemption certificates will be allowed to enter Vietnam without having to get approval from the immigration department and the local people’s committee.

Russia, Iran To Increase Caspian Maritime Trade Shipping

One of the outcomes of Iranian President Raisi's recent visit to Moscow has been an immediate commitment to increase Caspian Sea trade shipping, with Ro-Ro vessels to ply Iranian agricultural trade between the Anzali and Lagan Ports, which will in turn boost the use of the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC).
