Additionally, it has identified 164 entities selected for blockchain pilot projects, including hospitals, universities, and businesses. SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., China National Offshore Oil Corp, Beijing Gas Group Co., and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd are selected companies.

According to the announcement, projects will be implemented in various industries, including manufacturing, energy, government and tax services, law, education, health, trade and finance, and cross-border financing.

The authorities emphasised the “importance of collaborative growth.” Additionally, they stated that supervisors “in all regions should prioritise increasing collaboration” on projects.
