China is advancing plans to build a national blockchain network and a national integrated computing power network as part of an effort to promote the deep integration of its digital economy. According to reports from the Xinhua News Agency, the initiative was outlined in a joint opinion released by the Communist Party Central Committee and the State Council.
The strategy forms part of China's broader push to keep pace with the United States in blockchain technology and the digital economy. The country has previously proposed easing stablecoin rules to support the digital yuan, following how stablecoins like USDT and USDC have contributed to the adoption of the U.S. dollar. These proposals arrive while crypto transactions remain largely banned within China.
In parallel, the Central Committee proposed the full implementation of the “Artificial Intelligence+” action plan to drive the transformation of traditional industries using AI. The framework calls for accelerating next-generation technologies, including AI phones and computers, intelligent vehicles, and humanoid robots. This AI push follows advancements by Chinese firms developing open models such as DeepSeek and Kimi, which have matched American models.
The newly released guidelines also outline proactive plans for future industries, specifically mentioning quantum computing and the exploration of market regulatory rules to support the development of such sectors.
