Releasing the Latest Achievements in “Two Zones” Construction
The “Two Zones” construction is a major strategy personally planned and promoted by General Secretary Xi Jinping, and a significant measure for Beijing to serve and integrate into the new development pattern through the “Five-Pronged Coordination” approach.
Haidian District’s “Two Zones” construction is oriented toward international trends, national and Beijing needs, and Haidian’s capabilities and unique strengths. Benchmarking against internationally recognized free trade zones with the strongest competitiveness, it takes alignment with high-standard international economic and trade rules as the starting point, targets industry and enterprise development demands, leverages the superimposed advantages of the “Four Zones,” and implements differentiated policy and institutional exploration following the principle of “implementing a batch, reserving a batch, and researching a batch.”
During the 2026 CIFTIS period, the Haidian District “Two Zones” Office will hold a press conference on the sixth anniversary achievements of Haidian District’s “Two Zones” construction at the Zhongguancun National Innovation Demonstration Zone Exhibition Center (Wanchun Hall). Responsible officials from the Haidian District Commerce Bureau, Administrative Committee of Zhongguancun Science City, Exit-Entry Service Center for Foreigners, Haidian Sub-Bureau of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Zhongguancun Customs will jointly attend, centrally releasing the abundant achievements of the “Two Zones” construction over the past six years and the progress of the Centennial Jingzhang AI Innovation Belt construction, continuously expanding Haidian’s influence and visibility in opening up and innovative development.
