China's Xiong'an New Area is advancing large-scale construction to relieve Beijing of non-essential functions unrelated to its role as the national capital, with an emphasis on high-quality construction, high-level management, and high-quality development for the relocated functions.
To review the development of the Xiong'an, Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, on Monday made an inspected tour to the Xiong'an New Area in north China's Hebei Province.
Xi inspected construction progress in the start-up zone and visited China Huaneng Group Co., Ltd. and the Xiong'an campus of Beijing No. 4 High School.
He also greeted representatives of officials and staff from Beijing-based organizations that have been relocated to Xiong'an as part of efforts to relieve the capital of functions non-essential to its role as China's national capital. These entities have either moved in or are under construction.
Eight headquarters of central state-owned enterprises have been relocated to the new area, fostering a cluster of industries such as aerospace information and satellite internet. Cumulative investments have surpassed 1 trillion yuan, with more than 5,300 buildings completed.
To attract top talent, Xiong'an has introduced the 16-Xiong'an Talents Policies.
In addition to economic development, efforts have also been made for ecological and environmental protection, such as the preservation of Baiyangdian Lake in the nearby area.
Xiong'an is also developing a city that integrates work and daily living, while systematically advancing the creation of "quality housing, harmonious neighborhoods, vibrant communities, and well-planned districts.
