Chinese Lawyer: It may be difficult to support the establishment and operation of mining farms in China
The Supreme Court of China recently disclosed a case involving mining machines and mining farms. The Supreme Court judgment document emphasized: "The establishment of the Fuzhou data center and the storage and operation of the equipment involved in this case are actually the use of equipment to perform high-performance computing to obtain virtual currency rewards. It is a high-energy-consuming industry that is not encouraged by the state. The original judgment The order to terminate the contract and the termination of the legal relationship between the two parties is also in line with the current state's adjustment of the industry involved in the case."
In this regard, Huo Yijie, a lawyer at Shanghai Gelian Law Firm, interpreted: The last paragraph emphasized has a deeper meaning, that is, it may be difficult to support the establishment and operation of the mine in the future domestic judicial practice. The next 1-2 years will still be the trend of strict supervision and strong supervision.
