Big data is a ＂portrait＂ for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei! This is a new highland for enterprise investment.
Beijing City Sub-center Daily | Reporter Wu Hongli
The coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is a major national strategy personally planned, personally decided and personally promoted by the Supreme Leader General Secretary. In the past eight years, the three places have moved from "geographical connection" to "deep integration", and in practice, the embryonic form of modern capital metropolitan area composed of commuting circle, functional circle and industrial circle has been outlined.
"As a micro-subject in a complex economic system, enterprises are an important window to observe the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei." Qu Qingchao, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and president of Longxin Research Institute, has long focused on the cross-study of data science and economics, and is committed to using big data to discover the objective laws behind things. He led the team to make a "portrait" for the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei by analyzing the big data such as enterprise factors gathering, division of labor layout, new quantity and investment changes in the three places. He pointed out that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has carried 9% of enterprises and created 10% of GDP with 2% of the country’s land area. At present, there are 4.908 million enterprises in the three places, and the number of new enterprises has maintained an average annual growth rate of 15.1% in the past eight years. The Beijing City Sub-center and the three northern counties (sanhe city, Dachang Hui Autonomous County and Xianghe County) in Langfang, Hebei Province have accelerated their integration, which has become a new highland for enterprise investment gathering.
The backbone structure of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei world-class urban agglomeration has been accelerated.
"The agglomeration effect of the three places is prominent, and the advantage of factor convergence is accelerating." Qu Qingchao used a set of data to outline the overall changes of enterprises in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei in the past eight years. In the past eight years, the total number of enterprises in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has reached 4.908 million, the spatial density of enterprises has nearly doubled, and the entrepreneurial talents with high knowledge and high intelligence are highly concentrated. The total cross-border mutual investment of enterprises in the three places has exceeded 3.6 trillion yuan, equivalent to 3.2 times before the collaboration.

"The backbone structure of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei world-class urban agglomeration based on industrial synergy is accelerating." Qu Qingchao said that based on the data of enterprise spatial density, it can be found that in the eight years since the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the enterprise spatial density has increased from 556 households per square kilometer in 2014 to 1,045 households per square kilometer at present, an increase of 88 percentage points. A number of enterprise gathering corridors such as Beijing-Tianjin, Jingxiong, Jingbaoshi, Jingtangqin and Jingzhang have been formed in the three places, and a number of new important enterprise gathering nodes such as Xiong ‘an, Baoding, Zhangjiakou and Binhai New Area have emerged.

Qu Qingchao pointed out that economic growth is reflected in the morphological evolution in regional space and follows the general evolution law of "city-metropolitan area-urban agglomeration-development zone". As an important support and driving force to connect central cities and urban agglomerations, metropolitan area has the function of "connecting the preceding with the following". Building a modern capital metropolitan area is an inevitable stage to build a Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei world-class urban agglomeration. "By accelerating the construction of a modern capital metropolitan area and forming the backbone of a Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei world-class urban agglomeration, it has become an effective way to solve the bottleneck problem of the coordinated development of the three places." He said.
Xiong’an new area and the city sub-center form a new pattern of "two wings" linkage
Based on the data of newly-increased enterprises, the entrepreneurial vitality of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration continued in generate. In the past eight years, the newly-increased enterprises in the three places maintained an average annual growth rate of 15.1%, and the regional entrepreneurial ecosystem was significantly improved. "In particular, xiong’an new area and the Beijing City Sub-center have formed a new pattern of’ two wings’ linkage." Qu Qingchao analyzed.
According to relevant statistics, in the entrepreneurial queue of 199 counties (urban areas) in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, xiong’an new area rose from the 67th in 2014 to the 18th in 2021, an increase of nearly 50 places, especially nearly 4,000 Beijing-invested enterprises registered in xiong’an new area, and more than 100 central enterprises set up branches in xiong’an new area.
Public information also shows that in the past two years, with the acceleration of the integrated development of Beijing’s sub-center and the three northern counties, the total number of newly-added enterprises ranks first among the 1,444 northern counties (urban areas), which has become a new highland for enterprises to gather investment. Among them, the Beijing City Sub-center has accumulated 24 second-and third-class enterprises of the Three Gorges Group, 3 second-and third-class companies of PetroChina and 5 second-and third-class companies of China Electric Power, and the new headquarters of municipal enterprises such as BTG Group, Huaxia Bank, Beijianyuan and Beixun Company have realized land supply. The number of innovative enterprises and R&D platforms in Beisan County has been greatly improved. At present, there are 319 high-tech enterprises, 2,973 small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises and 268 R&D platforms. In addition, the Beijing City Sub-center and xiong’an new area jointly issued the working docking mechanism between the Management Committee of the City Sub-center and xiong’an new area, and built a docking exchange platform for the "two wings".
Beijing’s investment in Tianjin and Hebei increased by 209%
There are more than 90,000 molecular companies in the three places.
Investment is one of the "Troika" to promote regional economic development. According to the data of mutual capital investment of enterprises in the three places, since the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, the investment of Beijing enterprises in Tianjin and Hebei has doubled, with an increase of 209%, and the proportion of investment has increased from 10% before the coordination to 22% at present. Qu Qingchao said, "Beijing’s capital radiation to urban agglomerations is further enhanced, and the capital chain is used as a link to drive regional industrial transformation and upgrading and high-quality development." He also pointed out that from a global perspective, the competition between modern cities is increasingly becoming the competition between urban agglomerations. In terms of cross-regional capital drive, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei needs to continue to narrow the gap with the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations. This requires giving full play to Beijing’s radiation influence, driving the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration to accelerate its development and enabling it to participate in higher-level competition in the world.

According to the data of molecular companies established by enterprises, over the past eight years of coordinated development, enterprises in the three places have set up more than 90,000 molecular companies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, including 54,000 subsidiaries and 36,000 branches. "This shows that enterprises in the three places have continuously increased their layout and interaction in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei market." Qu qingchao said.
Specifically, Beijing enterprises have set up 41,000 molecular companies in Tianjin and Hebei, and the number of subsidiaries alone has reached 38,000, accounting for over 90%. Tianjin and Hebei enterprises have set up more than 28,000 branches in Beijing, accounting for 77.8% of the three branches. "Beijing enterprises have continuously strengthened their market layout in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region by setting up subsidiaries. Enterprises in Tianjin and Hebei pay more attention to expanding the breadth of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regional market layout and increasing the synergy with the Beijing market by setting up subsidiaries. " Qu qingchao said.
The three places have attracted a total of 355,000 entrepreneurs with high knowledge and wisdom.
Intellectual property-intensive enterprises are 1.8 times higher than those before collaboration.
Talent is the key to regional development. According to the data of entrepreneurial talents, since the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development for eight years, the three places have attracted a total of 355,000 intellectual entrepreneurs with master’s degree or above, and established a total of 293,000 enterprises, which are equivalent to 2.7 times and 2.6 times respectively before the coordination. The number of intellectual property-intensive enterprises has increased from 145,000 before the collaboration to 258,000 at present, which is 1.8 times that before the collaboration. Qu Qingchao pointed out that the essence of the integrated development of regional industrial chain and innovation chain is the mutual sharing and linkage of knowledge, technology and ability, and its key foundation comes from the efficient support of high-quality entrepreneurial talents and advantageous enterprise groups. "The agglomeration of high-end factor resources has continuously injected new impetus into Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei to achieve high-level coordinated development led by innovation and build a highland for economic development." He analyzed.

In addition, the regional industrial division of labor in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei highlights new features. According to the data of industrial structure, the regional proportion of Beijing’s industries, such as manufacturing, R&D and design, producer services and wholesale and retail, is declining, especially with the dissolution of general manufacturing enterprises in Beijing, the proportion of manufacturing links in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has dropped from 24% before the collaboration to 6% after the collaboration. Tianjin’s service industry has accelerated, and the regional proportion of producer services has increased from 12% before the synergy to 43% at present; Hebei’s manufacturing industry has gathered rapidly, and the regional proportion of manufacturing industry has increased from 46% before the synergy to 80% at present. "The regional industrial division of labor has become clearer, and the three places have gradually formed a development pattern with complementary functions and mutual promotion." Qu Qingchao said that the coordination and linkage between the industrial chains of the three places is also constantly strengthening and the industrial support is closer, and the layout of the whole industrial chain is accelerated in the fields of medical health, new energy vehicles and industrial Internet.
Hebei’s turnover in absorbing Beijing-Tianjin technology contracts exceeded 30 billion yuan.
Inter-city enterprise innovation links increased by 1.8 times.
The turnover of technology contract is an important index to measure the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Relevant data show that in the past eight years, the technology turnover exported by Beijing to Tianjin and Hebei has reached 176.04 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of over 20%; Last year alone, Hebei absorbed 35.4 billion yuan of Beijing-Tianjin technology contracts, a year-on-year increase of 69%. "The scientific and technological innovations in the three places have continuously accelerated the pace of transformation in different places." Qu qingchao said.
The modern capital metropolitan area, which consists of commuting circle, functional circle and industrial circle, has taken shape.
"Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei innovation chain accelerates the release of synergy." Qu Qingchao said that based on the discovery of intellectual property data, since the coordinated development, enterprises in the three places have produced 97,000 joint intellectual property achievements, which is 2.5 times that before the coordination. Among them, Beijing enterprises play a core leading role in the joint innovation of the three places, and the number of joint intellectual property achievements accounts for 44.3%. The joint intellectual property output of enterprises in Baoding, Tianjin, Tangshan, Langfang, Shijiazhuang, Handan, Hengshui and other places has doubled, especially Baoding, which has the fastest growth rate, with an increase of 230.4% compared with that before the synergy.
Judging from the twinning of joint innovation cities in the three places, the degree of enterprise innovation connection between cities has increased by 1.8 times in the past eight years. The number of pairs of joint innovation cities has increased from 54 to 65, and between Cangzhou and Tangshan, Baoding and Xingtai, Handan and Zhangjiakou, Shijiazhuang and Qinhuangdao, 11 pairs of cities have achieved a breakthrough in joint innovation from scratch, and cities have accelerated towards "innovation integration". Judging from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regional innovation network, Qu Qingchao said that at present, a collaborative innovation network with Beijing as the innovation network center, Tianjin and Shijiazhuang as the sub-centers and Baoding, Cangzhou and Langfang as the important nodes has been formed, showing the remarkable characteristics of "multi-center, multi-node and diversification".
The supply chain of the three places is 4:4:2.
Industrial linkage and cooperation enter the "fast lane"
The Outline of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Collaborative Development Plan proposes to build and upgrade the "4+N" industrial cooperation pattern, including Caofeidian Collaborative Development Demonstration Zone, New Airport Airport Airport Economic Zone, Zhangjiakou-Chengde Ecological Function Zone and Tianjin Binhai New Area. "N" means the industrial transfer platform group. Qu Qingchao said that the three places took the "4+N" industrial cooperation platform as the starting point, and through four strategic cooperation functional zones, Ninghe Beijing-Tianjin Cooperation Demonstration Zone, Wuqing Beijing-Tianjin Industrial New City and a number of characteristic industrial parks and specialized industrial cooperation platforms such as Zhangzhou, Zhengding and Beidaihe, the three places continued to introduce industrial linkage and cooperation into the "fast lane". For example, at present, 134 Beijing projects have been completed and put into operation in Caofeidian Collaborative Development Demonstration Zone, Hebei Province. In recent years, Beijing City Sub-center and Beisan County have signed 161 cooperation projects and events with an intention of investing 108 billion yuan, and 48 projects such as Research Rare Earth New Materials, AVIC Touchstone and Yunda E-commerce North China Base have been completed and put into operation, and 22 projects such as MCC Headquarters Base and Zhongshi Science and Technology Park have been implemented.
"We can also observe the changes in the supply chain network of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei from the commodity trading data." Qu Qingchao analyzed 580,000 sample enterprises. In the past five years, the supply chain of the three places showed a pattern of 4:4:2, with the supply amount in Beijing accounting for 41%, Tianjin accounting for 39% and Hebei accounting for 20%. It shows distinct regional characteristics in specific trading categories, and ferrous metal smelting and calendering products are important trading commodities in the three places; Beijing mainly exports financial and technical services; Tianjin port has obvious advantages and prominent commodity trading; Pharmaceutical commodities are the highlight of Hebei’s supply.
He said that based on the supply chain data, the supply chain network of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei medical and health industry has been continuously improved, and it has accelerated to move towards a world-class medical and health industry cluster. From the sampling data, in 2021, the total amount of cross-border supply chain transactions of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei medical and health industry reached 61.89 billion yuan, and a number of high-quality enterprises with global competitiveness have gathered around the fields of chemical preparations, chemicals, Chinese patent medicines, biological products and medical devices.
The capital metropolitan area has formed a close commuting circle.
The density of road network increased by 2.2 percentage points over the previous year.
The capital metropolitan area presents obvious circle structure. Qu Qingchao said that from the perspective of 50 kilometers around Beijing, a commuter circle with close contact between work and residence has been formed; From the perspective of 100 kilometers, a good functional circle is formed to undertake the relief of non-capital functions; From the perspective of 150 kilometers, the agglomeration has formed an industrial circle with ecological integration of steel, automobile and medicine.
"It is more intuitive to look at the road network density monitoring data." Qu qingchao said. According to the monitoring data of road network density of China Urban Planning and Design Institute, the current road network density of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei is 4.5 kilometers per square kilometer, an increase of 2.2 percentage points over the previous year. The statistical results of communication big data monitoring show that 17 urban counties around Beijing (including 7 urban counties of Sanhe, Guangyang, Dachang, Xianghe, Gu ‘an, Anci and Yongqing in Langfang, 3 cities and counties of Zhuozhou, Laishui and Gaobeidian in Baoding, 3 districts and counties of Huailai, Zhangbei and Chongli in Zhangjiakou, 2 counties of Luanping and Xinglong in Chengde, and Wuqing and Xinglong in Tianjin)
