| Introduction |
Beijing Linhe Industrial Development Zone (Beijing Linhe IDZ) was established by the Beijing municipal government in 2000 and covers an area of 4.2 sq km. It is a municipal-level park.
The IDZ is located in Shunyi District, only 6 km to the east of the airport. It is 30 km northeast of the city center and 160 km from Tianjin Port. The Beijing-Chengde Railway and Beijing Sixth Ring Road pass by the IDZ.
In 2010, Beijing Airport’s passenger throughput reached 73.9 million, ranking first in China, and second in the world. The airport offers flights to 96 domestic cities and 91 overseas cities.
Tianjin Port is the main passageway for cargo from Beijing and North and Northwest China entering the Bohai Sea. In 2010, the port’s cargo throughput reached 400 million tons, ranking third in China after Shanghai and Ningbo.
Beijing is now the largest educational center in China. By the end of 2010, there were 89 universities and colleges in Beijing, with a total enrollment of 578,000. The nation’s most well-known universities are located in Beijing. They include Peking University and Tsinghua University, dubbed China’s Harvard and MIT, respectively. |
| Investment Climate |
The IDZ’s pillar industries include automobiles and auto parts, microelectronics, optical-mechanical-electronic integration, and biopharmaceuticals.
By the end of 2010, more than 80 companies had invested in the zone. The zone generated total revenue of RMB 38.9 billion in 2008.
Beijing, the nation’s capital, is China’s educational center. It enjoys strong technological research capabilities in the electronics and information technology industry due to the existence of top-level universities and institutes in the city. In 2000, the IDZ received approval from the Beijing municipal government to build a microelectronic industrial base in North China, the only one of its kind in Beijing.
Grinm Semiconductor Materials is the largest company in the microelectronics field. Founded in 1999, it was among the nation’s first listed high-tech companies, and is home to China’s first facility for manufacturing domestically-developed 8-inch monocrystalline silicon wafers. Its annual revenue totals RMB 2.0 billion.
In the optical-mechanical-electronic inte-gration industry, Beijing No. 1 Machine Tool Plant is the largest investor. Its factory in the IDZ, with an investment of RMB 1.0 billion, was set up in 2002. It is Beijing’s largest R&D and production base for computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools, and its annual revenues are RMB 1.1 billion.
In 2002, the Beijing municipal government made the zone the city’s manufacturing base for automobiles and auto parts. Beijing Hyundai, the first joint venture in China’s auto industry after China entered the WTO, is the largest company in this field. It was set up in 2002, with an investment of US$886.8 million. Its main businesses are the R&D and production of cars and trucks as well as engines and parts. In the first 11 months of 2009, its sales of cars were 510,000 units, up 94% year on year. |
