Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visited an information technology (IT) innovation park in Beijing on Monday morning.
At the park, Xi learned about IT application and innovation, and was briefed on Beijing's efforts to expedite the development of an international sci-tech innovation center.
Xi checked the display of sci-tech innovation outcomes, and talked with researchers and heads of sci-tech enterprises.
Located by the Tongming Lake in southeast Beijing's Yizhuang area, the park was established in 2019 by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Beijing Municipal Government to coordinate resources and accelerate the shift of sci-tech breakthroughs from laboratory to industry.
The park, with an area of 1.7 million square meters, is home to over 90 percent of China's leading IT firms, hosting about 1,000 companies.
