Contradictory information?[edit]

"Between 1949 and 1978 the PBC was the only bank in the People's Republic of China and was responsible for both central banking and commercial banking operations." This info appears to contradict info at two other Wikipedia article. Bank of China states that that bank was founded in 1912 (during the ROC era) and was for a time a central bank, but that after 1948, it "became a purely commercial bank". No mention in its lede nor in its timeline of its ever having been shut down or absorbed by the PBC from 1949-1978. China Construction Bank says that bank was founded in 1954, suggesting it, too, existed during the timeframe when, according to this article, the PBS was the only bank. So the question is, is the information here incorrect, or is the information at the other two articles correct, or is there some explanation for how they are both accurate (for example, BOC and CCB existed, but were divisions of the PBC)?

I added information to clarify things. The PRC part of the BOC was part of the PBC. The Hong Kong part is a whole other issue. CCB was an agency of the ministry of finance and did not take public deposits. Roadrunner (talk) 03:43, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Much clearer now! I'll remove that tag. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 05:24, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another fact worth pointing out is that there was no doubt black market activity in the form of small credit unions that effectively acted as commercial banks. If you have any doubt of this, look at why the DPRK has revalued its currency. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.83.73.26 (talk) 21:20, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Owner?[edit]

Missing informations: Whow does this bank belongs to? How is payed dividend? How much? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.67.208.160 (talk) 20:48, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above question is absolutely essential to understanding what's going on in this world, and should be posed with regard to ALL central banks. The PBC is a member of the BIS (http://www.bis.org/about/orggov.htm), many of whose banks are known to be privately owned and/or controlled. Who controls China's monetary system?

The PBoC is owned by the Government of the People's Republic of China. DOR (HK) (talk) 09:16, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why the category Monetary reform?[edit]

Why? --Mats33 (talk) 17:20, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because debt-based money is an unsustainable ponzi scheme which is entirely optional for central banking. See www.monetary.org Rwinkel (talk) 16:38, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign reserves?[edit]

Does the list of 100-odd foreign reserve values since 2004 actually add anything to the article? Seems to me to be a bit of a waste of space. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.6.206.243 (talk) 15:44, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
