Between October 19 and 22, 2023, a delegation organized by the Hong Kong and 
Macao Affairs Office of the People's Government of Beijing Municipality and the 
China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Beijing Sub-council 
(CCPIT Beijing) attended the 28th Macao International Trade & Investment Fair 
(MIF). Changping District as a member of the delegation attended the event.

Themed "Charming Beijing, Inclusive Changping", the "Beijing Pavilion" is 
principally colored with city wall red and embellished with representative 
architectural typical patterns of the Temple of Heaven, rendering a strong 
"Beijing Flavor", according to Changping District Integrated Media Center. As 
one of the most popular must-visit places of the MIF, the Changping exhibition 
area is tinged with the color of ginkgo yellow and added with the element of 
the Juyongguan Great Wall, sketching a pleasant picture of Beijing in the 
golden autumn.

At the MIT, Beijing emphatically recommended the opening-up and development 
results and industrial characteristics of Changping District, which boasts the 
Future Science City that is at the hub of Beijing's strategy of "three cities 
and one zone" as well as a host of key industrial areas such as the 
Zhongguancun Life Science Park, the Zhongguancun National Independent 
Innovation Demonstration Zone Changping Park and the Changping Cluster of the 
Scientific & Technological Area of China (Beijing) Free Trade Zone, etc. 

In the field of health and medicine, Changping District, with the life science 
park at the core, boasts a large number of top-level research and development 
institutions such as the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing, 
the Chinese Institute for Brain Research, Beijing, and the National Center for 
Protein Science (Beijing), etc. In the field of digital economy, Changping 
District has taken the lead in operating in new information technology and its 
related areas and its cluster development trend of high-end industrial 
digitalization has initially taken shape. As the industries keep concentrating, 
Changping District becomes increasingly attractive to foreign capital. 

"A foreign investor mainly considers such factors as economic level, industrial 
ecology and international supporting conditions at the time of site selection 
for investment, and Changping District is one of the most popular investment 
destinations with the greatest growth momentum thanks to its robust and 
resilient economic growth, strong industrial strength and diversified and 
inclusive international communities," said Liu Qiang, deputy head of the 
government of Changping District, in an interview, "in the aspect of economy, 
between 2018 and 2022 Changping saw increasingly rapid growth, with a compound 
annual growth rate of 8.9%. In the aspect of industry, the Future Science City, 
as one of the major platforms of Beijing's "three cities and one zone" strategy 
for building the city into an international center for science & technology 
innovation, has created a 170-square-kilometer innovation area covering the 
Life Valley, the Energy Valley and the Shahe Higher Education Park, housing 
top-level research & development institutions including China's first national 
laboratory of life sciences as well as industry leaders such as Beigene and 
Xiaomi, etc., resulting in the emergence of a number of world-class original 
achievements, and serving as an important engine of the industry of Beijing and 
even the whole country. In terms of environment, Changping District keeps 
enhancing its living facilities related to healthcare, education, consumption, 
ecology and culture and has created a positive open environment for business 
development."

At the MIF, 10 firms from Changping District exhibited their respective 
featured products, displayed and recommended over 40 items related to IoT, 
virtual reality technology, cytogenetic technology, new medical equipment, 
intangible cultural skills, and traditional Chinese medicine, etc., and 
communicated with domestic and overseas firms on business cooperation in a 
lively atmosphere.

Since Maocao's return to the motherland, the cooperation between Beijing and 
Macao has come a long way. The regular communications and cooperation between 
Beijing and Macao started from their attendance at the MIF. Beijing has 
participated in the MIF every year since 2010. At the MIF, Changping District, 
as a highlight of the Beijing Pavilion, will further advance the cooperation 
mechanism, establish an all-around mutually beneficial cooperative relationship 
between Changping District and Macao, contribute to high-level opening-up of 
Beijing, and promote high-quality development in the new era.
