How far is it from us to become a national strategic blockchain

The release of a major favorable policy makes blockchain a hot topic again. According to Xinhua News Agency on October 25, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee carried out the 18th collective learning on the current situation and trend of blockchain technology in the afternoon of October 24. Collective learning emphasizes that the integrated application of blockchain technology plays an important role in new technological innovation and industrial transformation. We should take blockchain as an important breakthrough in independent innovation of core technology, clarify the main direction of attack, increase investment, focus on tackling a number of key core technologies, and accelerate the development of blockchain technology and industrial innovation.

A number of experts and insiders told first finance that China is seizing the runway in the development of blockchain technology. Chinese enterprises are increasingly emphasizing the control of the core "hard technology". From the perspective of government policy guidance, they are also more encouraged to carry out independent innovation of blockchain core technology. At present, the number of blockchain patent applications in China has ranked the first in the world. Blockchain technology will have a broader application prospect in finance, people's livelihood, government affairs and other fields in the future. At the same time, the development of blockchain is not speculation. Not only have all kinds of token issuance and financing (ICO) activities been banned by the central bank, but also the state cyber credit office has screened and excluded speculation enterprises by issuing two batch of blockchain information service filing lists. Why does the blockchain become a national strategy? In essence, the blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger database, which is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptography. Each data block contains information of effective confirmation of multiple transactions.

Decentralized distributed storage brings openness and transparency, and also directly generates value for data; the non tamperability and traceability of information bring security and honesty, and also make people more trust each other. Blockchain is considered to be another wave after the Internet, which will bring great opportunities for change for all walks of life as infrastructure. At present, major countries in the world are accelerating the development of blockchain layout technology. The above speech stressed that it is necessary to strengthen basic research, improve the original innovation ability, and strive to make China take the forefront of theory, occupy the innovation commanding point and obtain new industrial advantages in the emerging field of blockchain. "Cutting edge", "commanding height" and "new advantage" undoubtedly indicate that China's goal in the field of blockchain competition is determined and unique: to compete for the first place. According to Yao Bohai, founder of Bowang finance and economics, blockchain technology and industry in the world are in the early stage of rapid development, and no country has absolute advantages, which is an important opportunity for China to realize "overtaking on the curve" in the field of science and technology.

Chen Chun, Professor of Zhejiang University and academician of Chinese Academy of engineering, who explained in the collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, said at the 2019ccf blockchain technology conference hosted by the China Computer Society on October 12 that the development of domestic blockchain industry is ushering in a "spring wind", and the research hotspot of China's blockchain technology will be focused on the key technology of the alliance blockchain and the blockchain supervision technology. Aspect. The number of patent applications for blockchain in China is the first in the world. China has a good foundation in the field of blockchain. With the support of the previous series of policies, blockchain technology and industry developed rapidly and began to integrate with all walks of life. In 2016, the State Council issued the 13th five year plan for national informatization, listing blockchain technology as a strategic frontier technology. In June 2018, the Ministry of industry and information technology issued the action plan for the development of industrial Internet (2018-2020), encouraging the application research and exploration of blockchain and other emerging cutting-edge technologies in the industrial Internet.

In recent years, the number of patent applications for blockchain technology in China ranks first in the world. According to the 2018 China e-banking survey report released by China Financial Certification Center (CFCA) at the end of last year, more than half of the existing blockchain related patent applications in the world come from China. By the end of 2017, the number of patent applications exceeded 1200, surpassing the United States and becoming the first. At present, Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu, the top three Internet giants, are trying to develop regional blockchain technology and related basic technology, such as Baidu super chain platform, ant blockchain baas platform, Tencent cloud tbaas blockchain service platform, etc. Many A-share listed companies, such as Ping An, Wanxiang holding and Hang Seng electronics, also have a wide distribution in blockchain application fields such as finance, energy, logistics, transportation, trade and copyright. The state-owned enterprises are also involved in the blockchain field and actively cooperate with Internet enterprises. For example, on October 27, State Grid announced that State Grid blockchain Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Grid, has been officially established, which will be highly consistent with its ubiquitous power Internet of things construction, promote mutual trust between upstream and downstream industries, realize efficient data sharing, and improve risk prevention capabilities.

Blockchain technology is also applied to government services. Through the realization of identity information data sharing, it will save a lot of time to fill in personal information repeatedly, and the business processing will be more convenient. Take Zhejiang Province as an example, which is deepening the reform of "run once at most". Jiang ruzhong, deputy director of Zhejiang big data Bureau, told the first financial reporter: "we need to explore the use of blockchain data sharing mode to achieve cross departmental and cross regional common maintenance and utilization of government data, promote business collaboration, and bring better government service experience to the people."
