Shanghai Oriental Hub International Business Cooperation Zone to Create a New Highland of Institutional Opening

The Overall Plan for the Construction of Shanghai Oriental Hub International Business Cooperation Zone has positioned Shanghai Oriental Hub International Business Cooperation Zone as a new platform for facilitating international business exchanges, a new carrier for gathering service resources and a new node for promoting the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and has undertaken three core functions: facilitating international business exchanges, serving high-end international exhibition activities and improving the quality of training services.

The cooperation zone is adjacent to Pudong Airport and Shanghai East Railway Station, with a planned area of about 0.88 square kilometers. It is divided into two blocks with the G1503 expressway as the boundary.

The plan is clear. By 2025, the closed acceptance of the first start-up area of the business cooperation zone will be completed. By 2028, the business cooperation zone will be fully closed. By 2030, the business cooperation zone will be fully built. Upon completion, overseas personnel who take international or regional flights from Pudong International Airport do not need a Chinese visa, but only need to hold international travel documents to enter the area with a valid invitation filed by the comprehensive management agency of the business cooperation zone, and can stay for 30 days, and can apply for extension as needed. Shanghai Oriental Hub International Business Cooperation Zone will be built into a new highland of institutional openness, a new engine to smooth China’s economic cycle and a new hub to connect domestic and international dual cycles.

Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone will be closed for operation from March 1st.

Speed up the development of science and technologyDigital China Construction

Speeding up the construction of digital China and injecting powerful impetus into Chinese modernization.

According to the latest data, in 2023, the total added value of China’s industrial Internet industry reached 4.69 trillion yuan, accounting for 3.72% of GDP. Digital technology and the real economy continue to be deeply integrated to accelerate the development of new quality productivity.

Embark on a new journey and draw a new blueprint, and a series of top-level designs have landed one after another. "Overall Layout Planning of Digital China Construction" was issued, and the National Data Bureau was established. China has built the world’s largest communication network, with the number of 5G base stations exceeding 3.37 million. The annual growth rate of computing power scale has remained above 30%, and the digital base has been continuously consolidated.

Nowadays, the digital wave is accelerating the deep integration with the "five in one" of China’s economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization construction.

Collaborative innovation of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization. Construction started in the new year. This is a shield machine that is spread all over the country. Any tiny blade wear on it can be transmitted back to the digital twin system thousands of miles away in real time. In eight cities including Beijing, Shenzhen and Suzhou, on average, more than 500 intelligent networked vehicles are conducting road tests every day, and all vehicle test data can be transmitted to Wulanchabu Computing Center in real time in less than 10 milliseconds at the earliest for synchronous simulation and analysis.

Digital city construction has reached a new level. More than 90% of government services in China are available online, and the level of government governance has been greatly improved. The digital life scene is constantly changing, the subway can adjust the frequency in real time according to the flow of people, and the expressway can automatically remind the weather and road conditions, digitally accelerate the integration into all aspects of people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation, and make the people feel more gained.

Today, the construction of ecological civilization is also more intelligent. In the world’s largest clean energy corridor, the river will cross six power stations and cover 1,800 kilometers. During this period, whether it needs to be used for flood control, power generation, shipping and irrigation can now be accurately calculated through this newly built "smart brain".

The pace of digital culture construction continued to accelerate. The forms of "cloud tour" such as the Digital Forbidden City and Digital Expo are constantly updated. Up to now, China has published a total of 130,000 digital resources of ancient books online, and traditional culture has flourished in generate through digital technology.

This year, China will further strengthen the layout of digital China. According to statistics, in just two months, more than 20 provincial-level data management institutions have been established one after another, the construction of computing hub nodes in eight countries of the "East Counting and West Computing" project has been accelerated, the research on 5G lightweight has been fully launched, and the industrial Internet has entered a new stage of large-scale development. From the tip of the tongue to the fingertips, from the field to the workshop, digital technology is accelerating the all-round economic and social changes and injecting strong impetus into promoting Chinese modernization.
