I strongly believe that development of blockchain technology in the Asia Pacific region is tighly concerned with the will of those countries - will for development. Don't you want to be a world leader in smth, even if your economy is far away from the 'developed' status, stuck in the 'emerging' status. Hence, they try to implement anything that may give them a boost to raise the economy. That's the main point of why it is a large room for blockchain in the region
It sounds like you don't believe in development of the region. Their production have made a great jump, salaries become higher, life level is rising - do you think it is not concerned with the potential of the region? Of course, it is.I am pretty sure that you know that India is one of the world leaders in healthcare, medicine. That's why they are looking for the developing technologies - not because of 'the will to change emerging status' and 'be first in smth, no matter what it is'
