Chief engineer Xie Shaofeng of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that the country's VR sector has established a self-reliant industrial system. It also features a diversified, integrated application ecosystem, and a relatively complete industrial ecology.

Xie added that positive results have been achieved in breakthrough core technologies, the development of standards, and technological integration. The standards formulated have guided and ensured the industry's standardised development.

In recent years, China has formulated over 30 national standards for the VR industry. The country has also led the creation of nearly 10 international standards in key fields, including virtual digital humans and VR terminal equipment.

The Jiangxi provincial government has hosted six sessions of the WCVRI in Nanchang to date. The conference generated USD 530 million in new technology investment.
