The blockchain that has been included in the "new infrastructure" is bound to play a big role in the new round of western development strategy.
In fact, Sichuan and Chongqing have become important poles in China's blockchain landscape.

Chongqing has always been high-spirited and clear-cut when it comes to the introduction of blockchain policy planning.
Policy strength: Chongqing holds high and fights high, Sichuan "cautiously moves slowly"
Although Sichuan and Chongqing have long shouted the slogan of vigorously developing the blockchain industry, they are completely different in terms of policy support.
Chongqing has always been high-spirited and clear-cut when it comes to the introduction of blockchain policy planning.
As early as November 2017, the Chongqing Economic and Information Technology Commission took the lead in promulgating the "Opinions on Accelerating the Cultivation and Innovative Application of the Blockchain Industry", which clearly put forward the overall thinking, goals and tasks, and key directions of the city's blockchain development. and policy initiatives.
In June 2018, the Chongqing Municipal Economic and Information Commission released the article "Five Major Measures of Chongqing to Actively Promote the Development of Blockchain", which also includes "Building a Blockchain Digital Asset Exchange". Although the next day, the Chongqing Economic and Information Commission withdrew the content again.
In November last year, the Chongqing Economic and Information Commission once again issued the "Notice on Further Promoting the Healthy and Rapid Development of the Blockchain Industry in Chongqing", which proposed five major tasks. At the end of last month, Yuzhong District of Chongqing City also issued the "Chongqing Blockchain Digital Economy Industrial Park Development Promotion Measures (Trial)" to vigorously promote the investment promotion of the blockchain industrial park.
In contrast, the blockchain industry policy in Sichuan Province is more like "still holding the pipa half-hidden", most of the support measures are entrained in the industrial planning of other fields, and the blockchain special policy has not been seen introduced.
For example, in the "Several Policies on Developing New Economy and Cultivating New Momentum" issued by Chengdu High-tech Zone in July 2017, only one sentence was mentioned, "For financial technology companies that carry out blockchain, mobile payment, robo-advisory, etc. , according to 10% of the research and development expenses, a maximum subsidy of no more than 5 million yuan will be given."
In December last year, the General Office of the Chengdu Municipal People's Government successively issued the "Policies and Measures on Accurately Supporting the Development of the Modern Supply Chain System" and "Several Policies and Measures to Accelerate the Development of the New Economy by Supplying Scenarios". Industrial planning is just a few words.
The only one that clarifies the development direction and ideas of the Sichuan blockchain industry is the "Sichuan Provincial Blockchain Industry White Paper" jointly issued by the Sichuan Provincial Department of Economics and Information Technology and the Sichuan Provincial Blockchain Industry Association in January this year. But this is just a suggestion for industrial development.
It can be said that in terms of blockchain-specific policies, Chongqing attaches much higher importance than Sichuan. However, with the intensive introduction of provincial blockchain policy planning in Hunan, Yunnan, Hainan and other places, the special policy planning of Sichuan blockchain may also be put on the agenda.

Development path: Sichuan focuses on application breakthroughs, and Chongqing promotes the coordinated development of the industrial chain
In terms of overall thinking, the development of blockchain in Sichuan and Chongqing is to better serve the development of the local digital economy, but in terms of the development path of the blockchain industry, there are certain differences between Sichuan and Chongqing.
According to several blockchain-related policy documents issued by Sichuan, Sichuan pays more attention to market-oriented application breakthroughs in the process of promoting the development of blockchain.
For example, in the "Several Policies and Measures for Providing Scenarios and Opportunities to Accelerate the Development of the New Economy" released in March this year, it is clearly stated that market-oriented application research should be carried out around hard-core technologies such as blockchain and interface standards to provide technical support for scenario breakthroughs ; At the same time, increase the demonstration and promotion to create an application scenario "IP", and select 10 application scenario demonstration areas for blockchain applications and other fields.
In the document "Policies and Measures for Accurately Supporting the Development of Modern Supply Chain System" released in December last year, it also proposed to support the innovative application of supply chain models and encourage the development of new supply chain models based on the application of new technologies such as blockchain.
On the other hand, Chongqing has issued a number of special policy documents. The overall planning of the industry is clear, and more attention is paid to promoting the coordinated development of the industrial chain by attracting investment and creating an industrial agglomeration effect.
In the latest policy document "Notice on Further Promoting the Healthy and Rapid Development of the Blockchain Industry in Chongqing" issued by the Chongqing Economic and Information Commission, several major work priorities are proposed: one is to vigorously promote the agglomeration and development of the blockchain industry; The introduction and cultivation of large blockchain enterprises; the third is to promote the demonstration and application of blockchain technology in key areas, while strengthening the research and development of key core technologies of blockchain; the fourth is to actively create a good ecosystem for the blockchain industry.
Not only that, as early as 2017, Chongqing also put forward specific goals and tasks in the document "Opinions on Accelerating the Cultivation and Innovative Application of the Blockchain Industry": by 2020, strive to build 2-5 blockchain industry bases in the city, Introduce and cultivate more than 10 leading enterprises in the domestic subdivision field of blockchain, more than 50 blockchain enterprises with core technology or growth type, introduce and cultivate more than 500 middle and senior talents in blockchain, and strive to build Chongqing into a domestic Important blockchain industry highland and innovative application base.

Subsidy intensity: Sichuan is targeted, Chongqing is multi-pronged
Finally, in terms of subsidies to support the development of the blockchain industry, the gap between Sichuan and Chongqing is more obvious.
In Sichuan, blockchain policy subsidies are mainly focused on research and development and application demonstration. For example, "Several Policies of Chengdu High-tech Zone on Developing New Economy and Cultivating New Momentum" mentioned that financial technology companies that carry out blockchain and other businesses will be given a maximum of 5 million yuan in subsidies at 10% of their R&D costs.
In March this year, Sichuan Province issued the document "Several Policies and Measures for Giving Opportunities to Accelerate the Development of the New Economy" that encourages the development of new models of supply chains based on the application of new technologies such as blockchain. Level) The supply chain innovation application demonstration enterprise recognized by the competent department and officially implemented will be given a one-time reward of up to 1 million yuan.
In contrast, Chongqing's current policy subsidies are multi-pronged and more attractive.
