According to Deep Tide TechFlow news on May 13, as reported by the Wanwu Island ThreeDAO WeChat public account, Xiao Feng, the founder of Wanxiang Blockchain, suggested to Vitalik in a private conversation that the Ethereum Foundation should set up an office in Hong Kong.
Xiao Feng pointed out that blockchain developers are mainly concentrated in the English-speaking and Chinese-speaking worlds. Losing the Chinese market means losing an important global developer resource. Vitalik stated that the Ethereum Foundation's development efforts in Berlin are primarily focused on underlying technology work, and the underlying technology of Ethereum has now matured, leaving only room for optimization.
Xiao Feng stated that he once half-jokingly told Vitalik: 'We have the 11th Blockchain Conference in Shanghai in October. If you come and get arrested, I will accompany you in prison.' He then pointed out that this was just a joke and stated that, in fact, China's technology departments, government agencies, and developer community hold a respectful attitude towards Ethereum technology, suggesting that the Foundation should not distance itself from the Chinese market.
