China Plans on Being the Blockchain Master
The Blockchain project, which will be led by Conflux, comes as China has been trying to position itself as a leader in the blockchain realm. A detailed implementation plan has already been released by Shanghai, China, to build its urban blockchain digital infrastructure system between 2023 and 2025. Forbes highlights that this strategy is an essential component of Shanghai’s strategic objective to digitally change itself and improve the use of blockchain technology in public services, the economy, and urban administration.
The strategy aims to leverage the advances made in standard system construction and blockchain core technology, which have given rise to a robust industry ecosystem and substantial innovation momentum.
Furthermore, Shanghai’s plan reflects China’s determination to become a global leader in technology innovation and economic leadership, according to Forbes. The nation’s achievement in launching the e-Yuan, the central bank’s digital currency, further cemented its standing as a pioneer in the field of digital currencies.
