<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-foundation-for-metaverse-research-and-development">The foundation for metaverse research and development</h2>



<p>Led by Nanjing University of Information Science &amp; Technology (NUIST), a newly established Chinese state-backed organization has <a href="https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/9RERVM48GJuz8V13HhzaKQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced</a> the launch of a platform dedicated to metaverse research and development.</p>

<p>Comprised of founding members from various academic institutions and blockchain-related companies in mainland China, the platform aims to promote the advancement of metaverse technology across the country.</p>

<p>Expressing optimism and enthusiasm, the district&#8217;s representative eagerly anticipates collaborating with various stakeholders to embrace the forthcoming &#8220;explosion&#8221; of the metaverse and achieve significant milestones, instilling confidence that the district is well-prepared for this technological wave.</p>

<p>The former vice minister of science and technology, Wu Zhong-ze, also comments on this development emphasizing the importance of introducing metaverse applications in fields like education, commerce, healthcare, and entertainment, while also advocating for the establishment of industry standards.</p>

<p>As a prominent city in mainland China, this development solidifies that Nanjing has joined the race to become a key player in the country&#8217;s multi-dimensional development by unveiling its&nbsp;<a href="http://jxw.nanjing.gov.cn/njsjjhxxhwyh/202302/t20230223_3834440.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">metaverse strategy</a>&nbsp;earlier this year, generating annual revenue surpassing 135 billion yuan ($19.13 billion) by 2025.</p>



<p>This move by Nanjing follows in the footsteps of Shanghai, which has recently introduced a diverse range of 20 metaverse use cases. These innovative applications cover various sectors, including virtual healthcare diagnostics and digital recreations of Shanghai&#8217;s renowned architectural landmarks.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The introduction of metaverse strategies and initiatives by cities like Nanjing and Shanghai highlights China&#8217;s recognition of the potential of this emerging technology, running in a stark contrast to the Chinese mainland&#8217;s restrictive approach towards digital assets. </p>



<p>This anti-crypto stance has been in place for a long time, prior to crypto being banned in September 2021 and is believed to remain for the foreseeable future.</p>

<p>However, the combination of the metaverse platform announcement in Nanjing, and China&#8217;s Central Television station broadcasting crypto information might be a turning point.</p>
