China’s top securities regulator has just sent a clear message to the financial industry. The change is here and technology will lead it. Wu Qing, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), called on market institutions to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence. Including big data and blockchain in capital markets.

He delivered the message during the Eighth Congress of Members of the China Securities Association. Wu Qing said the current wave of financial innovation is just beginning. However, it is already reshaping the way markets operate. He urged companies to stop looking from the outside and start building for the future. According to Wu Qing, companies must learn to think differently. They must adapt faster and, most importantly, they must actively seek change rather than reacting late.
Blockchain, AI and Big Data take center stage
Wu Qing made it clear that emerging technologies will not remain on the sidelines of China’s financial system for long. They are moving towards the core. He encouraged companies to carefully study these tools and use them in real market operations. Blockchain can improve data transparency and security. AI can improve risk assessment and business decisions. Big data can improve market analysis and investor insights. Together, these tools can rebuild how services work on stocks, bonds and derivatives.
To support this change, the CSRC plans to work closely with industry associations. Their focus will be on streamlining innovation pilot programs. These programs allow companies to test new technologies under regulatory supervision. Chairman Wu also highlighted the importance of regulatory sandboxes. These controlled environments help companies experiment without creating system-wide risks. At the same time, regulators can observe, adjust rules, and respond more quickly to new threats.
Stricter oversight coupled with faster innovation
While Wu Qing supports innovation, he also stressed that risk control comes first. He said regulators will strengthen monitoring systems for new financial technologies. Early warning tools and emergency response plans will also improve. This balance matters. Innovation moves fast. However, markets need safety nets. Wu acknowledged that new technologies create opportunities and dangers. Therefore, policy must evolve along with technical progress.
It also reminded securities firms of their broader obligations. Investment banks, in particular, must strengthen internal controls. They must act honestly and responsibly and must guide listed companies towards stable and compatible growth. At the same time, Wu Qing pressured companies to align their goals with investor returns, not short-term profits. He wants financial institutions to build long-term trust, not just chase quick deals.
A sign of China’s long-term market strategy
Wu Qing’s comments indicate more than a technological upgrade. They reveal how China sees the future of capital markets. The goal is not just speed or efficiency. The goal is a smarter, safer and more resilient financial system. By promoting AI and blockchain together, China is combining automation with responsibility. By expanding regulatory sandboxes, you foster innovation without losing control.
The message to the industry is strong. Technology adoption is no longer optional. Companies that fail to transform can quickly fall behind. For cryptocurrency and blockchain watchers, this is also a key signal. China may still restrict open cryptocurrency trading. However, its regulators clearly see blockchain as a strategic infrastructure for future finance. In short, China’s market reform is entering a new phase and this time the driver is digital.
