SASAC and Chinese Academy of Sciences Hold 2026 Cooperation Consultation

This is a coordination signal rather than a market event: SASAC's presence ties central SOE capital and industrial scaling to CAS's basic research pipeline, which is the machinery behind China's state-directed technology push. The framing around the 15th Five-Year Plan and a 2035 horizon matters because it suggests R&D priorities are being set years ahead of deployment, with an explicit emphasis on carrying projects from basic research through to industrialization. What matters for adjacent sectors, including the blockchain and tokenization space, is whether this top-level alignment translates into named projects and funding lines — that is the open question to watch.
