Chi­na’s Two Ses­sions con­gres­sional meet­ing fo­cus on the in­te­gra­tion of blockchain tech­nol­ogy with spe­cific in­dus­tries

Rep­re­sen­ta­tives at Chi­na’s Two Ses­sions con­gres­sional meet­ing have sub­mit­ted a slew of bills in re­la­tion to the de­vel­op­ment and ap­pli­ca­tion of blockchain tech­nolo­gies.

The 2020 Two Ses­sions meet­ings of Chi­na’s top leg­isla­tive bod­ies kicked off in Bei­jing on 21 May, fol­low­ing a two-month de­lay due to the COVID-19 out­break.

These in­clude bills sub­mit­ted by mem­bers of Chi­na’s Na­tion­al’s Peo­ple’s Con­gress (NPC), as well as the Chi­nese Peo­ple’s Po­lit­i­cal Con­sul­ta­tive Con­fer­ence (CP­PCC), mainly fo­cus on the in­te­gra­tion of blockchain tech­nol­ogy with spe­cific in­dus­tries, as well as the in­clu­sion of the blockchain in new in­fra­struc­ture de­vel­op­ment.

Fol­low­ing Pres­i­dent Xi Jin­ping’s call for greater blockchain de­vel­op­ment in Oc­to­ber 2019, as well as the Na­tional De­vel­op­ment and Re­form Com­mis­sion’s (NDRC) in­clu­sion of blockchain within the re­mit of “new in­fra­struc­ture” on 21 April 2020, this year’s Two Ses­sions has seen a flurry of bills in re­la­tion to dis­trib­uted ledger tech­nol­ogy.
