國內首個區塊鏈試驗區在海南省設立

China's first blockchain pilot zone was launched in Hainan province on Oct 8.

10月8日，我國首個區塊鏈試驗區在海南省設立。

Based in the Hainan Resort Software Community (RSC), the zone includes a blockchain research institute, which officially opened Monday and was jointly established by RSC and the University College Oxford Blockchain Research Center at Oxford University.

試驗區位於海南生態軟件園，區內包括由海南生態軟件園和牛津大學大學學院區塊鏈研究中心共建的區塊鏈研究院，該研究院於週一正式成立。

A blockchain institutional innovation center will also be launched by RSC in collaboration with Renmin University.

海南生態軟件園還將牽手人民大學，共建區塊鏈制度創新中心。

"The pilot zone will commit to attracting blockchain talent around the world and exploring the application of blockchain technology in areas such as cross-border trade, inclusive finance and credit rating," said Wang Jing, head of Hainan's provincial department of industry and information technology.

海南省工信廳廳長王靜稱：“該試驗區將致力於吸引全球的區塊鏈人才；探索區塊鏈技術在跨境貿易、普惠金融、信用評價等領域的應用。”

She said the pilot zone would deepen cooperation with top research institutions across the globe and key players in the blockchain industry.

她表示，試驗區將深化與全球頂級研究機構以及區塊鏈產業關鍵參與者的合作。

The blockchain is a digital ledger system that uses sophisticated cryptographic techniques to create a permanent, unchangeable and transparent record of exchanges to trace transactions.

區塊鏈是一種數字分類帳系統，它使用複雜的加密技術，創建永久的、不可更改的且透明的交換記錄，以跟蹤每筆交易。

The technology now has a wide range of applications in China, including in finance, credit reporting, smart manufacturing and supply-chain management, according to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

據中華人民共和國工業和信息化部透露，該技術目前在中國有廣泛的應用，包括金融、信用報告、智能製造和供應鏈管理。
