Shacknews reports: Scattered reports indicate that an online currency, known as the QQ coin, may be having an adverse effect on the Chinese economy and official state currency.
Part of Tencent's popular instant messaging client QQ, which is said to have over 317.9 million active accounts, each QQ coin sells for roughly one yuan and is supposed to be used to purchase virtual items for online avatars and pets.
