He said that this forum focuses on the cornerstone theme of blockchain and digital civilization, and jointly exchanges blockchain and digital technology cutting-edge topics, and jointly discusses new trends in the development of digital civilization. With joint efforts, all experts, professors and guests will surely be able to collide with new wisdom and contribute new thinking through this forum."
In addition, Ren Xiangsheng also said: "In the predictable future, in addition to social value and commercial value, blockchain technology can also promote the realization of safe, efficient, and low-cost value transmission. Help establish new digital social rules."

Subsequently, Di Gang, deputy director of the Digital Currency Institute of the People's Bank of China, explained "blockchain technology empowers the development of trade finance", and also reported on the application of blockchain in the field of trade finance.
He said that there are some problems with finance as an intermediary: funding accessibility, cost, and efficiency. This is not a problem with finance or an intermediary problem, but that the chain is too long and there are many ineffective intermediaries. Professionally speaking, there are too many routine intermediaries. Among them, the blockchain can identify effective intermediaries, streamline ineffective intermediaries, and encourage professional intermediaries.
Di Gang also shared a result in his speech. Since September 2018, the Digital Currency Institute of the People's Bank of China piloted the "Bay Area Trade Finance Blockchain Platform".

Cao Jiannong said that if you want to use blockchain as a data solution, there are four problems: 1. How to allow users to control data sharing flexibly; 2. Find data in different ways; 3. How to reduce delay; 4. How to solve fairness.
In addition, Cao Jiannong added that in addition to the above four issues, there are also issues such as how to ensure anonymity.
After the speech, there was a roundtable session. The theme of the roundtable dialogue session was "Blockchain - the cornerstone of digital civilization".

As a reply guest in the audience, He Baohong, deputy director of the Standards Institute of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, gave his own opinion on the article "The Economist: Blockchain is a Machine for Creating Trust": First, blockchain is not trust, but The transfer of trust; the second is that "the blockchain is a machine of trust" is not rigorous, the blockchain is a machine part that creates trust, and it is not enough to build trust only with the blockchain.
The blockchain section of this year's Expo consists of two parts: "Blockchain High-end Dialogue" and "Blockchain Technology Development Forum (GBF)".
