The government in China is planning a specialized blockchain research center in Beijing to aid the country\u2019s digitization agenda.\u00a0<\/p>\n

China is\u00a0reportedly<\/a>\u00a0launching a national blockchain research center to further facilitate blockchain technology adoption. The East Asian country seeks to speed up industrial use cases of blockchain technology despite its well-documented crackdown on cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

According to local media reports, China is looking to site its blockchain research center, the National Blockchain Technology Innovation Center, in Beijing. This facility would establish a research network with a group of supporting players, including blockchain firms, local universities, and think tanks. The consortium\u2019s primary objective would be to explore essential blockchain technologies to advance China\u2019s sweeping digitization.<\/p>\n

More Details on China Blockchain Research Center<\/h2>\n

The Beijing Academy of Blockchain and Edge Computing (BABEC) will be in charge of the new crypto-friendly institution. BABEC already enjoys popularity for developing Chang\u2019an Chain or ChainMaker blockchain, an initiative backed by a vast ecosystem of corporations. Most of these business corporations, such as banking powerhouse China Construction Bank and telecoms operator China Unicom, are state-owned.<\/p>\n

The current number of transactions per second (TPS) executable by the ChainMaker initiative is 240 million. This capacity stood at a mere 100,000 TPS back in 2021.<\/p>\n

In recent years, China has positioned itself as a blockchain nation brimming with limitless potential. Last September, Beijing reported that an overwhelming 84% of all blockchain applications filed across the globe are from China. However, despite the nation\u2019s continued push for blockchain technology, its approval rate remains significantly low. For instance, only 19% of the total filed applications received approval. Furthermore, cryptography expert Gao Chengsh also drew attention to the broad scope of such applications. According to Chengsh, also a founding partner of blockchain developer Shanghai Hashvalue Information Technology:<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the blockchain patents don\u2019t apply to blockchain only, but also traditional internet technology, such as privacy computing and cryptography.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

e-CNY<\/h2>\n

China has also been promoting its central bank digital currency (CBDC<\/a>), e-CNY, as part of its blockchain-promoting efforts. So far, the country\u2019s central bank, the People\u2019s Bank of China (PBoC<\/a>), has disbursed millions of dollars in digital yuan across China. However, China\u2019s CBDC continues to see low use cases, with cumulative e-CNY transactions only surpassing 100 billion yuan, or $14 billion, last October.<\/p>\n

In December, a former PBoC official\u00a0expressed dissatisfaction<\/a> at the underutilization of the digital yuan. At the time, the former Director General of Research at the People\u2019s Bank of China, Xie Ping, said e-CNY usage has been low and highly inactive.<\/p>\n

Last February, China sought to promote the digital yuan by\u00a0making it available for transactions<\/a>\u00a0at the Beijing Olympics. The PBoC made the centralized digital currency available to locals as well as foreign athletes and visitors at the sporting event.<\/p>\n

Reports stated that more than $315,761 worth of daily payments were made using the digital yuan during the Olympics. At the time, this figure suggested a positive trend in the currency\u2019s advanced trials, but in hindsight, it did not prove to be the case.<\/p>\n
