city government and co-organized by the Shenzhen Financial Industry
Development and Service Office and the Qianhai Authority.
“New
technologies are not only beefing up the traditional financial industry,
but also expediting the emergence of new business forms in the
financial sector," said Ai Xuefeng, Shenzhen's vice mayor, in a speech
at the summit's opening ceremony.
Wu
Xiaoqiu, vice president of Renmin University of China, said China is
outpacing many other countries in the world regarding the application of
financial technologies, and China's fast-growing Internet finance is
changing the country's financial industry in many aspects.
"The
technology era of the financial industry has arrived, which will
diversify the financial industry in China," Wu said, adding that people
should be aware of technology's positive impact on the financial
industry and also be wary of the risks of Internet finance due to its
lack of transparency.

the initiative for establishing China Shenzhen FinTech Digital Currency
