In a draft proposal released on Monday, the ministry outlined its intention to create a working group dedicated to the metaverse.

It anticipates that the metaverse will stimulate numerous innovative business models, create fresh business opportunities, and contribute to the growth of the digital economy.

The industry faces several challenges and needs to foster healthy and orderly growth through standardization and guidance, it added. [Reuters]
