Beijing has launched five development initiatives to better fulfill its role as the national capital. They include building Beijing into an center of technological innovation; developing the "two zones", namely the Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Opening up the Services Sector and the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone; turning Beijing into a global model city for the digital economy; stimulating and creating new demand through supply-side structural reform; and making greater headway in the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region through relocation of functions non-essential to Beijing's role as the capital. These initiatives, as part of Beijing's long-term development strategy, will help the city better serve the country's new development paradigm.
