it's such a great relief to see the Chinese country finally adopting the blockchain technology with such a huge investment. I think the government of Chinese has now realized the huge impact and economic growth that blockchain technology can offer to them hence the reason for spending such a huge amount of money on this initiative.
Even so, I think this will not have a huge impact from Bitcoin in general, remember that Bitcoin is different from Blockchain. The fact that China will release their own digital currency this might be used as a support for their existing currency. Perhaps, this big country wanted to be the first country that will use this kind of technology so that they can dominate the market, monitor its people and probably to defeat the US in economic war.
