China is leading the world in multiple Blockchain projects

When we talk about Blockchain favored nations, then China tops the list. So much so that it is giving tough competition to the US when it comes to Blockchain technology application. The country that once had objected the use of Blockchain technology and Bitcoin is now favoring the adoption of this technology to create a buzz in the market. Big names like Alibaba has also realized the importance of this technology and is implementing the DLT in its supply chain management system. Recently, China also announced Blockchain integration in its legal system and education division. The country is also establishing a favorable ecosystem which will boost the startups who are planning to come up with Blockchain based solutions.

 



Why Is China So Active In The Field Of Blockchain Technology?

Well, technological development is the key to the success of any business organization and nation. In order for a nation to stand on a global platform and become a superpower, it is imperative that it should adopt the new changes which could make it efficient and effective. Blockchain is one technology which many nations like China, UAE, USA, United Kingdom, Japan, and others are aggressively adopting. It will not only boost their economy but will also help in leveraging solutions to the customers which will ensure customer satisfaction.

 

Eye-Catching Statistics

 

It is not only the theories that we are talking about, but even the stats also support the fact that China has mustered up the courage to become a leading Blockchain solution provider in the world. As per the last year reports of the World Intellectual Property Organization China filed most number of Blockchain patents, followed by the USA and then Australia. Here are the figures:

 

As per the data collected by Thomson Reuters from the international patent organization, there 406 patents filed by different nations last year, of these China was the leading in the number of patents:

  • China: Filed 225 Blockchain patents
  • U.S.: Filed 91 Blockchain patents
  • Australia: Filed 13 Blockchain patents

 

You would hardly encounter a day when you would not find news that China is not attempting to come with something new in the field of Blockchain.

 

Recently, China Shipbuilding Industry Company Limited also signed an agreement with Shanghai Bank. The two will collectively explore how Blockchain can be helpful for them and how this technology can help to finance their upstream suppliers. The country has also announced the “Implementation Plan for the Promotion of Transportation Infrastructure Development.” The local authorities will be using Blockchain technology to overhaul local transport infrastructure.
