On 24 October 2019, President Xi declared blockchain "a crucial breakthrough point for the indigenous innovation of core technologies" and stressed the application of blockchain in the innovation of digital economy, optimizing the business environment and advancing China's supply-side reform and high-quality development. He also underscored exploring the application of "blockchain plus" in people's livelihood and advancing the integration of underlying technology service of blockchain with the building of new type of smart cities.



Today Blockchain still involves many challenges, but from an applied point of view, it goes beyond specific technical problems and uses fundamental principles to think about complex phenomena.
