In Brief:
- China’s technology plan prioritizes artificial intelligence, blockchain, advanced chips, quantum technology, cybersecurity, and software development through its 2030 strategy.
- Authorities want AI and digital technologies integrated across manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, tourism, smart factories, and international business expansion efforts.
- China plans stronger cybersecurity rules, algorithm governance, antitrust enforcement, financing support, and legislation covering blockchain and artificial intelligence industries.
China has placed artificial intelligence and blockchain among its key technology priorities under a national development plan running through 2030. According to China Daily, the initiative targets stronger innovation, industrial adoption, overseas expansion, and security across the country’s technology sector.
Authorities plan to support companies working on advanced chips, industrial software, communications, blockchain, quantum technology, and cybersecurity. Additionally, policymakers want stronger cooperation between major technology companies and smaller businesses developing products across these strategic industries.
Larger companies will provide technology, funding, data, and market access to smaller firms with strong growth potential. China also wants more unicorns and internationally competitive businesses capable of influencing technology standards and developing strategic products.
Under the plan, authorities will classify selected companies as ecosystem leaders, industry specialists, or high-growth innovators. Each category will play a different role in strengthening China’s technology ecosystem and expanding commercial applications.
Artificial intelligence remains central to the initiative, with policymakers targeting improvements across several important areas. These include high-end AI chips, large-scale training infrastructure, multimodal models, world models, autonomous agents, and embodied intelligence.
Moreover, Chinese companies will receive encouragement to participate in open-source projects and communities while strengthening domestic research capabilities.

China Pushes AI and Blockchain Into Major Industries
China wants technological development to extend beyond research laboratories and become more deeply integrated across major economic sectors. Manufacturers could adopt industrial internet platforms, specialized AI models, digital services, smart factories, and humanoid robots under the broader strategy.
Meanwhile, agricultural development will include smart farming, rural e-commerce, and digital public services designed for communities outside major cities. Healthcare, tourism, culture, and entertainment also feature prominently, with authorities supporting wider adoption of AI-powered products and digital experiences.
International expansion represents another major element, particularly for companies specializing in AI, cloud computing, and computing infrastructure. Significantly, larger technology companies will help smaller businesses enter foreign markets and establish stronger international operations.
Authorities will provide additional support involving overseas compliance, legal disputes, trade restrictions, and participation in international technology standards.
Regulation and Funding Support Broader Technology Strategy
However, China intends to combine technological expansion with stronger requirements covering cybersecurity, personal information protection, algorithm management, and AI misuse. Regulators will also strengthen antitrust enforcement and address forced platform exclusivity, excessive subsidies, and damaging competition among technology companies.
Furthermore, China plans legislation covering artificial intelligence, blockchain, digital economies, online platforms, and cybersecurity as these sectors expand. Authorities will broaden financing channels while encouraging investment funds to support early-stage businesses and companies developing technically difficult products.
Qualified technology companies could also gain better access to domestic and overseas listings, compliant data resources, and skilled digital workers. Consequently, the government expects these measures to strengthen both technological development and commercial competitiveness.
By 2030, China aims to establish a technology ecosystem featuring globally competitive companies, advanced products, stronger security, and clearer regulatory frameworks.
