For the preceding five successive years, Xunlei has been chosen as one of the leading 100 Internet Firms in China by MIIT and Internet Society of China. As a listed firm, Xunlei’s policy is to stand by applicable guidelines and government laws, implement corporate governance and function under the board guidance.

The company added that when advancing blockchain technology, it uses such features as transparence, security and openness for their apps. Wankebi is just a symbol of evidence for these applications, and not a matter of speculation.
