Both are emeralds, some are from South America, some are from Africa, and some are from ASEAN. However, consumers often cannot purchase them with confidence due to unknown sources.

Recently, the reporter learned from the China Baoyu Stone Trading Center that they have formed a joint team with Yitong International to jointly carry out the construction of the Asia Pacific Baoyu Stone Traceability Service Platform, providing convenient and reliable cross-border commodity traceability and certification services for government regulatory units, upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry, and end consumers.

The platform will be officially launched by the end of June this year and can be used by logging into the China International Trade Single Window.

It is understood that the Asia Pacific Baoyu Stone Traceability Service Platform is divided into several major sections: "full product traceability", "government intelligent supervision", "information verification", and "public services". The platform relies on the international cooperation mechanism of the Asia Pacific demonstration electronic port network and the advantages of Shanghai's efforts to create a leading area for "Silk Road e-commerce" cooperation. By utilizing the characteristics of blockchain technology such as "decentralization", "immutability", "one item, one code", and "online control", it collects and records key information about the production, circulation, and sales of precious jade products, and gathers the entire process information to the platform, thereby establishing a "point-to-point" full data channel for the entire precious jade industry chain, helping consumers achieve accurate queries of precious jade from overseas mining sources to domestic import ends.

The head of China Gem&Jade Trading Center said that the Asia Pacific Gem&Jade Traceability Service Platform will be gradually promoted to countries along the "the Belt and Road" and even the world, so as to further enhance China's voice and influence in the gem&jade industry.

In addition, the national standard "Jewelry and Jade Traceability System Service Specification" jointly drafted by the China Gemstone Trading Center and the Shanghai Institute of Metrology and Testing Technology has recently been officially released and will be implemented from December 1st this year.

Previously, the national standards for China's jewelry industry were developed around product testing. Tracing back to the national standard has become the first service standard in China's jewelry industry, which can solve the contradiction of information asymmetry in various links of the jewelry supply chain and promote the healthy development of the industry chain.

The China Gemstone Trading Center was established in December 2018 with the approval of the State Council, headquartered in Shanghai. It is currently the only national level gemstone import and export trading service platform in China, and has been recognized as a national high-tech enterprise for six consecutive years. There are nearly a hundred software copyrights, invention patents, and utility model patents applied for and obtained in the field of jewelry and jade traceability in China.

Tomorrow, the 14th Lujiazui Forum will open in Shanghai. Since its establishment 15 years ago, this high-end dialogue and exchange platform in the financial field has become a business card for Shanghai and also a business card for China's finance to go global. An interesting coincidence is that the first Lujiazui Forum started in 2008, when people were concerned about when the global economy could improve and recover under the impact of the financial crisis. And what everyone is more concerned about in this forum is obviously how finance can help global economic recovery after the epidemic. The questions are similar, but the answers are not exactly the same. Every time global financial professionals come to the Lujiazui Forum, they are searching for answers to financial development issues in the real world.
