The People's Bank of China has imposed financial penalties on 16 units that refuse to accept cash in accordance with the law. What do you think of this?

After investigation, it was found that 16 units had such behavior of refusing to accept RMB in normal times. Faced with this situation, the People's Bank of China punished these 16 units. These 16 units involve insurance companies, as well as some tourist attractions, parking lots and other units. These work units have refused to accept cash in normal transactions. We all know that the laws of our country clearly stipulate that such behavior cannot occur, and refusing to accept cash is also an illegal act. Therefore, the People's Bank of China can punish these behaviors in accordance with the law, and it is also a very fair and open punishment.

Furthermore, refusing to accept cash is also one of the acts of discrimination and rejection of RMB. It is also very correct for the People's Bank of China to impose penalties on these 16 banks. This penalty will also serve as a warning to other work units. It also informs other work units that RMB cannot be rejected in normal transactions. Yes, when these 16 companies were investigated, it was found that they directly posted slogans that refused to accept cash on their walls, and they had the ability to conduct cash transactions. Nowadays, it is very convenient to pay by mobile phone or by swiping a card, but it is true that there should not be a situation where cash is refused.

These 16 units refuse to accept cash. From a small perspective, it may be just for convenience and to reduce the possibility of counterfeit currency. It is a behavior for their own convenience. To put it more broadly, it is a lack of humanity and discrimination against the RMB. It is indeed very convenient to directly use online payment, and it will also avoid the occurrence of counterfeit currency. However, sometimes it is convenient for you and troublesome for others. Some people may suddenly lose their mobile phones when they are making transactions on these occasions. There is a power outage, or other unexpected situations occur. At this time, they can only choose to pay in cash. If they encounter a situation where cash is refused, what should they do?

And some elderly people do not know how to use smartphones to pay at all. The elderly group is also a very large population base in our country, accounting for a large part of our country's total population. Some people have previously reported on the Internet that some elderly people cannot get on the bus because they cannot scan their health codes because they do not know how to use smartphones. So, will the direct refusal to accept cash now cause a lot of trouble for the elderly people’s transactions? What about the elderly people’s transactions? They may not even be able to go out to buy things in the future. Therefore, it is very necessary, very correct, and worthy of encouragement for the People's Bank of China to impose penalties on the behavior of refusing to accept cash. We also hope that other work units will raise a warning and stop such behavior of refusing to accept cash.
