China's hydrogen industry is encountering temporary difficulties under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, but with the improvement of the situation of pandemic containing, it has ushered in new development opportunities. By reviewing the hydrogen energy development policies issued in China in 2020, it is concluded that the policies mainly focus on in the field of transportation, including research and development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology, key equipment manufacturing and construction of hydrogen refueling station, while rail transit is one of the development focuses of hydrogen fuel cell technology in the future. In addition, hydrogen metallurgy is a new application field. Many metallurgical enterprises are cooperating with advanced countries in demonstration projects, which may promote to realize revolutionary green transformation of China's iron and steel industry. At the same time, green hydrogen coal chemical industry, green hydrogen trade and civil liquid hydrogen are also important directions for the future development. Under the current situation, it is suggested that China should make clear its national development strategy, actively expand new areas of hydrogen energy technology innovation, focus on high-quality hydrogen energy industry, boost China's energy revolution and industrial transformation and upgrading, and play a leading role in the process of hydrogen energy globalization.
