from january to july 2024, beijing established 1,095 new foreign-invested enterprises, a year-on-year increase of 19%; a number of landmark projects were accelerated in beijing... on the eve of the china international fair for trade in services, beijing youth daily reporters learned that in the four years since beijing launched the construction of the "two districts", it has focused on building a high-standard service industry opening system, actively connecting with international high-standard economic and trade rules, building a transparent, stable and predictable institutional environment, and making every effort to create a "beijing model" of reform and opening up.
beijing youth daily reporter learned that beijing, relying on the good foundation of service industry development, continues to explore the way for the expansion of opening up of service industry nationwide. it was approved to take the lead in the country to carry out the pilot program of expanding the opening up of value-added telecommunication business, establish wholly foreign-owned hospitals, and allow foreign-invested enterprises to engage in the development and application of human stem cells, gene diagnosis and treatment technology. these favorable policies have brought new opportunities to chinese and foreign investors.
"since the beginning of this year, the china headquarters of steinbeis, a world-renowned technology transfer organization, has settled in yizhuang, the regional headquarters of varian medical systems multinational corporation has been put into use, and the country's first newly established wholly foreign-owned securities company standard chartered securities and the country's second joint venture bank card clearing agency wanshi network have officially started operations." relevant officials said that with the help of good policies, a number of landmark projects are being accelerated in beijing.
the beijing youth daily reporter noted that the first-class business environment is one of the reasons for attracting enterprises to settle in beijing. in recent years, beijing has issued and implemented the "beijing foreign investment regulations" to better protect the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investment; comprehensively promoted the construction of the beijing international commercial arbitration center, and unveiled the beijing international dispute resolution development center; implemented the "global service partner program", awarded the first batch of 13 "beijing global service partners" such as morgan stanley, and provided 8 integrated services such as participating in high-level dialogues between government and enterprises. in addition, beijing has also held more than 40 "round-table meetings" for foreign-funded enterprises to listen to the problems, demands, opinions and suggestions of enterprise leaders.
in march this year, standard chartered securities, the first wholly foreign-owned securities firm in china, officially opened for business. geng lin, ceo of standard chartered securities (china) co., ltd., said that since the company's preparation, the government's butler-style service has helped standard chartered securities "solve problems" and help the company integrate into the local market as soon as possible.
a good business environment also makes companies full of expectations for future development. li zhonghua, vice president of steinbeis sustainable technology management (beijing) co., ltd., which has landed in yizhuang, said that by introducing well-known global technology transfer institutions, on the one hand, it brings rich resources and mature experience in international technology transfer, strengthens scientific and technological cooperation between china and the world, and is conducive to the global joint layout of technology transformation and scientific and technological innovation ecology. "in the process of supply chain construction and layout, it allows chinese companies with international competitiveness to truly participate, which may become a typical path for china's manufacturing industry to improve." it is reported that steinbeis will focus on the industrial ecology of beijing, especially yizhuang, in five aspects: promoting exchanges, strengthening industries, cultivating talents, bringing in, and going global, to help beijing build an internationally renowned scientific and technological innovation center and a highland of high-level talents.
in addition to policy factors, the construction of the "two districts" also continues to promote reforms in all aspects around key elements such as investment, trade, talent, capital, and intellectual property rights.
according to reports, beijing has successively implemented and continued to deepen a number of facilitation policies, including pilot projects for cross-border financing facilitation, capital project income payment facilitation, securities companies' foreign exchange settlement and sales pilot projects, qdlp and qflp pilot projects, and multinational companies' local and foreign currency fund pool pilot projects; it was the first in the country to publish and iteratively upgrade the catalog of overseas professional qualification recognition; it published the first scenario-based, field-level negative list of data outbound from the free trade pilot zone; it promoted the joint application of the "two certificates" of foreigners' work permits and residence permits and continued to speed up; it carried out data intellectual property pilot projects and became the only place in the country to fully complete the pilot work of rule-making, registration practice, protection cases, transaction use, and data asset inclusion. these measures have effectively promoted economic and trade cooperation, facilitated personnel exchanges, and continuously enhanced the sense of gain of market entities.
at present, beijing has implemented nearly 60 national breakthrough policies and formed more than 40 innovative experience cases promoted nationwide, and has continuously taken solid steps on the road of promoting high-quality development with high-level opening up. in the next step, beijing will continue to use the construction of the "two districts" as a guide, steadily expand institutional opening up, strive to carry out more pioneering and integrated explorations, accumulate new experience for the country to build a new pattern of higher-level open economy, and inject new impetus into the high-quality development of the capital.
