The Shanghai government has shown interest in controlling the data of the Shutu public chain, which represents a move towards the centralization of a technology that, by nature, was conceived to be decentralized. This intention goes against the fundamental principle of blockchains, which is to allow transparency, freedom, and open participation without a central controlling entity. As a consequence, this public blockchain is unlikely to attract much interest, nor significant visits from foreign audiences. Its controlled and limited nature makes it a closed system, more akin to an artificial environment than to a truly open and global network. Therefore, some consider it a 'game of onions,' meaning a complicated structure without a clear purpose beyond internal control.
