Blockchain: Trillion Yuan Focal Point Of The Chinese Government and Economy

On 20 April 2020, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the cabinet-level department that draws up policies and strategies for the direction of the Chinese economy, has expanded its definition of “new infrastructure” to include blockchain technology.

Investment in new infrastructure is expected to comprise 7%-12% of all infrastructure spending, with China International Capital Corporation (CICC) seeing new infrastructure investment of between 1-1.8 trillion yuan. As blockchain technology is becoming one of the major technical forces to boost the post-COVID economy, WAIC intends to open more discussions around its development.
