Basics

"Search giant Baidu has been bullish on blockchain for years. One of its affiliates Duxiaoman Financial, built a canine version of Cryptokitties in early 2018, which allows millions of Chinese to adopt and trade cute digital puppies, each distinct, that “live” on the blockchain. Another Duxiaoman service offers student loans, but funds are disbursed only after the technology is used to verify grades. At Baidu itself there are also numerous projects including XuperChain, which uses artificial intelligence to analyze copyright infringement allegations and reduce the time to a judgement from three months to one week."

"China’s search giant and its fintech venture Du Xiaoman Financial have introduced morea than 20 blockchain solutions. One of them, Libra Chain, is serving as the infrastructure for China’s three internet courts handling copyright and e-commerce disputes through virtual litigation. To date, more than 35 million pieces of electronic evidence have been filed at the Beijing Internet Court."
