Shunyi district in northeastern Beijing is accelerating high-quality, internationalized development.

With 15 indicators of high-quality development in place, the district aims for an economic output of over 330 billion yuan (US$45.32 billion) and a modern service industry worth 150 billion yuan, as well as an annual trade value exceeding 200 billion yuan in its Tianzhu comprehensive bonded zone, according to local officials.

The district has been working to become a hub for international companies and resources, as demonstrated by its Beijing China-Germany Industrial Park.

China's only national-level park focusing on China-Germany economic and technological cooperation, the industrial compound has attracted 118 German-funded and affiliated enterprises since its establishment three years ago, including major brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Bosch. During this period, the park registered an annual industrial output exceeding 40 billion yuan. 

With an innovative environment and thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, the park has been an attractive landing spot for German companies looking to expand in China. 

The park has also forged cooperation with more than 50 institutions, such as the European Economic Senate, and hosts forums and expos to foster international collaboration.

In addition, it has introduced commercial facilities like German-style beer houses, cafes, and convenience stores selling German goods. It has also become a venue for events such as wine and beer festivals, football tournaments, and equestrian competitions organized by the resident companies.

The district is also leading in cross-border pharmaceutical trade.

According to officials, 10 rare disease drugs and clinically urgent medications have been approved in Beijing. These will be purchased globally and transported through the Tianzhu bonded zone to medical institutions in the city. Rare disease medications can now be cleared through customs once and used multiple times outside the zone, ensuring continuous availability for patients.

Moreover, rare disease patients can receive top-tier diagnosis and treatment here.

Last year, the total trade value of the Tianzhu zone reached 123.49 billion yuan, yuan, with pharmaceutical trade accounting for 106.93 billion yuan, marking a 6.39% increase.

Cutting-edge industries are also flourishing in the district, which has introduced public rental housing to lure top talent.

Cui Xiaohao, the district head, announced that by 2030, the total output value of its five high-end manufacturing industries — new-energy intelligent vehicles, aerospace, third-generation semiconductors, intelligent equipment, and medical and health industries — will exceed 300 billion yuan.
