The CPC Central Committee and State Council released on October 9, 2026 a policy document with 19 measures calling for a national blockchain network and an integrated nationwide computing power network. The core aim is to tie China’s real economy more closely to its digital economy, including building formal systems for data property rights certification. The document makes no explicit mention of independent digital assets, crypto tokens, permissionless systems or trading activity, reflecting a state-coordinated approach to blockchain infrastructure. This framework is tied to the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) and is expected to create a cautious investment climate favoring state-backed projects over individual crypto innovation. Key areas to monitor include data element pilot projects and how the national blockchain network will connect to the existing Blockchain-based Service Network.
