The development of China's blockchain industry has broad prospects
区块链技术正在引领全球新一轮技术变革和产业变革，推动“信息互联网”向“价值互联网”变迁。
Public information shows that blockchain is a ledger technology that is jointly maintained by multiple parties, uses cryptography to ensure transmission and access security, and can achieve consistent storage of data, be difficult to tamper with, and prevent denial. It is also known as distributed ledger technology.
The core problem that blockchain needs to solve is how to keep systems that may have fraudulent nodes operating normally and outputting trustworthy results, "said Li Wei, founder of Qulian Technology, whose founding team is all from Zhejiang University.
The 2018 White Paper on China's Blockchain Industry released by the Information Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that blockchain is becoming a forefront of global technological development, such as the United States continuously improving public policies related to blockchain technology; The EU is striving to build Europe into a leading region for global development and investment in blockchain technology, accelerating research on international level "blockchain standards".
From a domestic perspective, the State Council issued the "13th Five Year Plan for National Informatization" in 2016, which listed blockchain technology as a strategic frontier technology. In June 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Industrial Internet Development Action Plan (2018-2020) to encourage the application research and exploration of blockchain and other emerging cutting-edge technologies in the industrial Internet.
Professor Cai Liang, Executive Deputy Director of the Blockchain Research Center at Zhejiang University, stated that the focus of Western blockchain technology development is on public blockchains, while the focus of application and industrial development is on financial innovation based on public blockchains. In contrast, the focus of China's blockchain technology development is on autonomous and controllable consortium chains, and the focus of application and industrial development is on how blockchain can serve industrial economy, government services, and social governance.
Several experts and industry insiders believe that currently, China's blockchain industry, from upstream platform services and security services to downstream industrial technology application services, to industry investment and financing, media, and talent services to ensure industrial development, has basically completed and coordinated in various fields, jointly promoting the continuous progress of the industry.
At present, some regions in China are already trying to apply blockchain technology. For example, a large number of government systems in Hebei Xiong'an New Area are based on blockchain technology construction, Shanghai started to build a blockchain technology innovation and industrialization base in 2018, and Hangzhou Internet Court released the judicial application of smart contracts based on judicial blockchain technology.
Domestic Internet enterprises are also widely involved in the application of blockchain technology. For example, Alibaba focuses on product traceability, cross-border settlement and other fields, Tencent focuses on the application of electronic invoices and other financial fields, and JD focuses on the transparent supply chain system to combat fake and inferior products.
Several experts and industry insiders have stated that blockchain technology has broad application prospects in related fields such as government affairs, finance, and people's livelihood in China in the future. For example, through blockchain technology, distributed sharing of government data can be achieved; For example, leading companies in the supply chain can use blockchain to transmit their credit to small and micro enterprises, thereby partially solving the problems of difficult and expensive financing.
How to solve the efficiency and security issues of consortium blockchain, how to solve the problem of data collaboration between on chain and off chain, and how to solve the regulatory issues of blockchain are important directions for future development. "Cai Liang said that only by solving the above problems can blockchain truly serve our economic and social development.
