China sets 2030 target for national blockchain network and regional hubs

China Targets 2030 for National Blockchain Network and Regional Hubs
China has officially set a 2030 target to complete a nationwide blockchain infrastructure under its 15th Five-Year National Informatization Plan, issued by the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission.

Rather than focusing on public cryptocurrencies, China’s policy establishes blockchain as a core industrial and data backbone integrated with artificial intelligence, data circulation, and 6G communications.

🔑 Key Highlights of the 2030 Plan:
National Backbone & Infrastructure: Development of a central blockchain network connected to operating regional hubs, supported by distributed digital identity (DID) services and privacy-preserving computing.

Commercial & Industrial Integration: Deployment across international trade, maritime shipping, supply chain logistics, government affairs, taxation, and carbon reduction initiatives.

Regional Development Framework:

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei: Smart logistics and dual-airport hub coordination.

Yangtze River Delta: Advanced blockchain integration in cross-border trade and finance.

Greater Bay Area: Orderly cross-border data flows and seamless public services.

Chengdu-Chongqing: Large-scale commercial applications in manufacturing, commerce, and agriculture.

Digital Yuan (e-CNY) Expansion: Continuous adoption of the central bank digital currency (CBDC), with 30 approved banking operators, operating alongside data security policies without a forced integration timetable.

Economic Target: Aims for core digital economy industries to contribute 12.5% of China’s GDP by 2030.
