Doing a Good Job in "Reducing" and "Adding" Beijing and Cangzhou Jointly Promoting the Quality and Upgrading of Coordinated Development in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei Region | Beijing | Adding "Beijing and Cangzhou
Promoting the coordinated development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region is a major national strategy. When conducting research in Beijing and Hebei, reporters found that the two regions firmly hold onto the "bull nose" of relieving Beijing's non capital functions, and do not relax. With relaxation as the foundation, they continuously push the high-quality development of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region to new heights.
At 7:30 in the morning, the Mingzhu Trading City in Cangzhou, Hebei was busy in the morning. More than 80% of the merchants here have moved in from Beijing. In the store of merchant Lu Chunming, over 100 woolen coats are displayed and designed by his own factory, with an annual sales volume of nearly 700000 pieces.
Lu Chunming used to do business at a clothing wholesale market near Beijing Zoo. In 2014, the relocation of non capital core functions began one after another, and the clothing wholesale market in Beijing entered the scope of relocation.

Clothing industry operator Lu Chunming: If we suddenly need to relocate, the first concern is whether the market can form a scale similar to Beijing, and whether this business will be affected.
With a try and see attitude, Lu Chunming and a group of wholesalers arrived in Cangzhou, more than 100 kilometers away. The local investment of about 10 billion yuan has built a 1.42 million square meter Mingzhu Commercial City, welcoming them to settle in, and providing comprehensive guarantees such as rent reduction, cost price housing, medical care, and children's education.
In undertaking the big game of Beijing's clothing industry, Cangzhou wants to do more than that.

Gao Tianze, Deputy Director of the Development and Reform Commission of Cangzhou City: Taking advantage of the opportunity to undertake the clothing industry in Beijing, we are committed to building a new business model that integrates wholesale and retail, design and research and development, raw material supply, and production and processing, to achieve the upgrading of the clothing industry in Cangzhou.
Since 2017, Cangzhou has successively built factories with a total area equivalent to more than 160 football fields, allowing enterprises to directly settle in. The local government also selects clothing designers from across the country, builds a clothing design sharing platform, and provides brand creative services for small and micro enterprises.
At present, including Lu Chunming, many merchants who have been relocated from Beijing have made a leap from wholesale and retail to brand building here. In 2022, the Cangzhou Mingzhu Clothing and Trade Industry Cluster alone achieved an annual revenue of over 40 billion yuan and generated employment opportunities for over 30000 local people. In Beijing, the space freed up from the evacuation also radiates new vitality.

CCTV reporter Huang Da: This used to be the location of the clothing commercial district of Beijing Zoo, where tens of thousands of wholesale merchants gathered during peak hours. Today, the bustling market has transformed into the first national level fintech demonstration zone.
In the demonstration zone, more than 200 fintech enterprises and professional service institutions have settled in. The tax contribution of the 350000 square meter wholesale market to the vacated area has increased from the previous 60 million yuan to nearly 3 billion yuan in 2022.
Relaxation is subtraction, while upgrading is addition. Between one subtraction and one addition, it brings higher quality development space for Beijing. Nowadays, the former Shougang Park has become a new landmark that integrates culture, sports, and scientific and technological innovation. "Cutting-edge technology" has become the new business card of the former Beijing Shuangqiao Dairy Factory area; The former Temple of Heaven Furniture Factory has now transformed into Jinyu Intelligent Manufacturing Factory, with over 200 technology enterprises settling in, and the unit output value has increased by nearly 10 times.

Shi Huiyang, Director of the Park Development and Construction Department of the Zhongguancun Management Committee of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Science and Technology: The next step is to focus on the requirements of the goal of building a world leading science and technology park and an international science and technology innovation center, further strengthen our core functions of scientific and technological innovation, and continue to build the driving force for our high-quality development.
The latest Global Innovation Index report shows that Beijing's ranking in global technology clusters has risen from 7th place in 2017 to 3rd place in 2022. The proportion of newly established market entities in industries such as technology, commerce, culture, and information has increased from 40.7% in 2013 to 65.6% last year. The core functions of the four major capitals, namely the political center, cultural center, international exchange center, and technological innovation center, have been continuously strengthened.
