As a guest speaker and winner, aelf CEO haobo ma attended China’s National Blockchain Conference hosted by People’s Daily.

The National Blockchain Conference organized by China’s national media people’s daily once again brought the public’s attention to the development of blockchain in China. China’s exploration in the blockchain field has never stopped since it started years ago.

As the structure of the industry becomes clearer, regulations will become more formal, especially once the value of blockchain technology is affirmed. The Chinese government has already fully affirmed this innovative and revolutionary product.

At the 19th Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences held on May 28th, Chinese Government President Xi Jinping emphasized: “The new generation of information technology represented by blockchain should accelerate the breakthrough application, and the world is entering an economy dominated by the information industry. At the same time, the risk of innovation,” President Xi also pointed out, “is that 90% of innovation is going to fail, but we must have faith that ‘what the heart is pursuing, even though it may go through the fire many times it is not regrettable.” The word “blockchain” appeared in the speech of the top leaders of China and it was very encouraging. From the perspective of national strategy, it clarified the blockchain technology for the development of China’s science and technology; it marked the official conclusion of the “blockchain China consensus”. As an important part of the new generation of information technology, blockchain technology has a different meaning for China’s development, prosperity and revival.
