China has unveiled its ‘National Data Infrastructure Construction Guidelines,’ placing blockchain technology at the center of its strategy to enhance data security, transparency, and scalability. The guidelines aim to establish a blockchain-powered data infrastructure nationwide by 2029. This will advance the country’s digital transformation goals and support secure, large-scale data exchanges.
The initiative focuses on creating “trusted data spaces” that enable multi-party data sharing with privacy and ownership guarantees. Blockchain-driven data markets will allow the tokenization and secure trading of data assets, unlocking new revenue streams. The guidelines emphasize combining blockchain with advanced privacy technologies to safeguard sensitive information.
