It seems that the China's Ministry for Industry and Information Technology has rated Steem as number two (after Ether) blockchain technology.
The news was twitted by this account on Twitter As of graphic table below they give a score (sub-index) to each blockchain technology based on the technology itself, applications and innovation. I guess that application sub-index is the potential of the blockchain technology to create applications.
What puzzled me a lot is the fact that neverthless Steem blockchain technology is second in the overall rating, appears last for the possibility of creating appications.
This does not make any sense !!!
However that fact that Steem blockchain scores second after Ether should make us Steemians very happy :-)
