As the largest clothing wholesale distribution center in the northern region, the zoo wholesale market at that time was less than 1 square kilometer, with more than 10 wholesale markets concentrated. Every day, the crowds were dense and the logistics were concentrated, and there were many hidden dangers in traffic, public security and fire protection.
What should be the positioning of the capital? In February 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed during his inspection work in Beijing that it is necessary to clarify the city’s strategic positioning, adhere to and strengthen the core functions of the capital’s national political center, cultural center, international exchange center, and scientific and technological innovation center, and implement in-depth humanities Beijing and science and technology Beijing. , Green Beijing strategy, and strive to build Beijing into a world-class harmonious and livable city.
Relieve non-capital functions and abandon the “big and comprehensive” industrial structure. After years of hard work, the area where “Dynamic Approval” is located has successfully transformed into a national-level financial technology demonstration area. At present, there are more than 200 fintech enterprises and professional service institutions in the demonstration zone, forming an industrial chain of supervision, channels, operations, third-party payment and network security in the field of fintech. By 2025, it will become a gathering place for global fintech leaders.
There are still many such “subtractions”: in the past 10 years, Beijing has “broke the wrist” and “upgraded the quality”, withdrew about 3,000 general manufacturing and polluting enterprises, and eased and upgraded nearly 1,000 regional professional markets and logistics centers; 300 million square meters, urban and rural construction land reduction by 110 square kilometers…
“Beijing has become the first mega-city in the country to reduce the amount of development. We exchanged the ‘subtraction’ for the ‘addition’ of the capital’s development in the new era.” said Mu Peng, director of the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission.
Today, Beijing’s industrial development and technological innovation are gaining momentum. Build an international science and technology innovation center, build a comprehensive demonstration zone for the expansion and opening up of the national service industry and a pilot free trade zone, build a global digital economy benchmark city, create new demand with supply-side structural reform, and relieve Beijing’s non-capital functions as the “bull nose” to promote Beijing and Tianjin It is hoped that coordinated development and the linkage of “five sons” will form a superposition effect and become a powerful driving force for promoting high-quality development.

In 2021, Beijing’s GDP will exceed 4 trillion yuan, and the added value of the digital economy will account for over 40%.
