China's NDRC Eyes Blockchain for Credit Data Security

On April 2, 2025, Li Chunlin, of China's NDRC, revealed plans to leverage blockchain for secure credit data at a State Council event. The initiative underscores China's drive towards innovative technology to improve credit data security, though market reactions remain unclear.

Deputy Director Li Chunlin highlighted the intention to apply privacy computing and blockchain technology to enhance the security of China’s credit information systems. The NDRC aims to use these technologies to minimize the risk of information leakage.

China's Push to Secure Credit Data with Blockchain

Blockchain technology is expected to transform the way credit data is processed and shared within regulatory frameworks. This marks a strategic effort to align data security practices with global standards.

While Li Chunlin's statements received attention, there has been little official remark from major financial or tech sectors. "We are committed to enhancing the financing environment for small businesses to foster growth and innovation," said Li Chunlin, Deputy Director, National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). Governmental clarity and industry adoption of such technologies often take time, impacting the wider economic landscape.
