Our country attaches great importance to technological innovation and basic scientific research, having introduced a large number of technology support policies, which will lay a solid foundation for the rapid development of the Metaverse industry in our country. The editorial committee has compiled relevant industrial policies issued after 2015 and analyzed their roles one by one. The report covers basic knowledge of the Metaverse, technical principles, industry background, development status, typical enterprises, research progress, application landing, popularization and promotion, industry standards, intellectual property, upstream and downstream of the industry, cutting-edge trends, challenges faced, existing problems, regulatory system, international dynamics, and dozens of other aspects.

Wu Gaobin, Secretary General of the World Digital Technology Institute Metaverse Committee (in preparation) and Secretary General of the Metaverse Working Committee of the China Association for the Promotion of Private Technology Enterprises, believes that the Metaverse, as a high-level form of the integration of digital and real economies, can promote the development of new economies, new business formats, and new models. It can serve as a lever and engine for new productive forces, assisting in the high-quality development of China's economy.

Huang Yongbin, Secretary-General of the Blockchain Professional Committee of the China Market Information Survey Industry Association and Director of META Think Tank, pointed out that since the Metaverse became popular in 2021 and capital began to flood in, after two years of exploration, Metaverse companies have started to attempt project implementation. In recent years, many regions in China have proactively laid out plans for the Metaverse, using it as a major lever to accelerate regional digital transformation and promote the development of the digital economy. According to incomplete statistics, as of now, 30 provinces and cities have included the Metaverse in the key tasks of government work for 2023, vigorously supporting the development of related industries.

Gao Zelong, the deputy director of the Metaverse Cloud Map Intelligent Research Institute at Beijing University of Technology, believes that China should strengthen research and demonstration on the Metaverse, actively develop Metaverse technology and industry under the premise of safety and controllability. The development of the Metaverse will bring a series of problems and challenges, and how to build a safe, trustworthy, standardized, green, and healthy Metaverse is worth deep consideration, which is crucial.

Yang Fei, the president of the Shenzhen Internet of Vehicles Industry Association, pointed out that in the "Metaverse" ecosystem, "transportation + automobiles + scenarios" are very important application directions. Especially based on the Internet of Vehicles architecture, surrounding the "vehicle-road-location-pile-cloud-network-end" industrial ecosystem, the use of Metaverse technology has a positive driving effect on the collaborative interconnection of various elements such as urban intelligent traffic planning, safe driving training, automotive VR experiences, digital marketing, and human-computer interaction.
