China has introduced a groundbreaking blockchain project for the Belt and Road Initiative, despite its ban on cryptocurrency transactions. The government, in collaboration with Conflux Network, is establishing a public blockchain platform to enhance transparency, efficiency, and security in the international project.

The Belt and Road Initiative is a global economic development program launched by China to strengthen economic cooperation and connectivity along Silk Road routes. Incorporating blockchain technology into the initiative is expected to advance China's goals of promoting international trade and cooperation.

Blockchain technology has broad applications beyond cryptocurrencies, including supply chain management, digital identity verification, and secure data sharing. China's emphasis on blockchain technology, while excluding cryptocurrency transactions, demonstrates its cautious approach to digital currencies while acknowledging the potential of blockchain.

The new blockchain project aims to improve transparency and collaboration within the Belt and Road Initiative, showcasing blockchain's versatility and potential for other countries to follow suit. This initiative could serve as a model for integrating blockchain effectively in large-scale international projects, influencing global practices in the realm of international development and trade.
