In the first half of this year, multiple provincial-level administrative regions—including Beijing, Hunan, Guizhou, Hainan, Jiangsu, and Hebei—have introduced special development policies for blockchain technology. In terms of development goals, many regions have set short-term targets for blockchain advancement. For example, the "Hebei Province Blockchain Special Action Plan (2020–2022)," released in early July, clearly states that by 2022, Hebei aims to cultivate 20 leading enterprises in blockchain-related fields, foster a number of blockchain application products, and strive to create one to three nationally recognized blockchain brands. Beyond Hebei, both Hunan and Beijing have issued three-year "action plans" with 2022 as the target completion year.
Regions that have launched special blockchain development policies generally propose clear development strategies. Regarding enterprise cultivation, Guizhou plans to introduce and nurture more than 100 growth-oriented blockchain companies; Hebei specifies that it will develop 20 leading enterprises in blockchain-related areas; Hunan aims to promote blockchain adoption among 30,000 enterprises. In terms of industrial parks, Guizhou plans to build two to three blockchain industry bases; Jiangsu intends to high-standard construct two to three provincial-level blockchain industrial parks; Hebei aims to establish three blockchain agglomeration zones with regional influence; and Hunan plans to complete around five blockchain industrial parks.
Notably, all six provinces and municipalities have identified multiple application areas and scenarios for blockchain implementation, covering finance, manufacturing, public welfare, government services, and telecommunications. In finance, for instance, Jiangsu plans to establish blockchain platforms for bills in banking, insurance, and leasing industries, connecting financial institutions, customers, investors, and regulators to enable a leapfrog transition from traditional to digital bill markets. Beijing aims to enhance financial services through “multi-party trust, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement,” promoting practical applications in supply chain finance, asset securitization, and cross-border payments.
Compared to other sectors, e-government has drawn particular attention and is addressed in the plans of each region. Both Beijing and Hunan plan to advance open sharing of government data. Jiangsu intends to build a consortium blockchain linking various government departments, a public blockchain for citizen-facing services, and private blockchains for confidential systems such as public security and judicial affairs. Guizhou proposes to leverage its “One Cloud, One Network, One Platform” infrastructure to establish a government-led consortium blockchain, enabling real-time monitoring of data changes, full-traceability of access, and orderly data sharing—continuously improving the business environment and supporting “one-network-for-all-services.” Hainan has stated that e-government projects applying blockchain technology will be prioritized for inclusion in annual construction plans.
