The Digital Euro is all about control over your money and to allow the ECB to reduce interest-rates to -3% in the next crisis. #CBDC

Actually I do sometimes wonder if they think that it is their money. This has been most prevalent in the Euro area where the European Central Bank is particularly dictatorial. Let me take you back to May the 5th 2016.

At the moment there is rather a public spat between China and Japan. In one sense this is sabre rattling by the new Sanae Takaichi administration which knows it will be popular with its core vote.
