  1. Please see my post above on why blockchain is useful in this one specific instance.
  2. Rather than being reluctant, China is trialing this already via Project mBridge with central banks of Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. Another term for a multi-nation-backed blockchain system is a multiple central bank digital currency (CBDC) system, so that's basically what it is.
