NDRC: Comprehensive rectification will focus on industrial centralized mining, mining by state-owned units, and Bitcoin mining

According to China.com, a spokesperson for the National Development and Reform Commission said that on November 10, the National Development and Reform Commission organized a special video conference on virtual currency "mining" governance, reported on the monitoring and rectification of virtual currency "mining", and deployed the next stage of work, requiring all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to truly assume local responsibilities, establish systems, and carry out monitoring to clean up and rectify virtual currency "mining" activities in their regions, and strictly investigate and punish "mining" activities involving computer rooms of state-owned units. In the next step, we will focus on comprehensive rectification of industrial centralized "mining", "mining" involving state-owned units, and Bitcoin "mining". For units that implement residential electricity prices, if they are found to be involved in virtual currency "mining" activities, we will study the imposition of punitive electricity prices on them, forming a high-pressure situation for continuous rectification of virtual currency "mining" activities.
