China's First Central Business District

Beijing Central Business District (CBD) is located in Chaoyang District, covering 7.04 square kilometers in the core area and 84 square kilometers in the functional zone. Planned and launched in 1993, it is China's first central business district and one of the capital's high-end industrial clusters. Leveraging the advantages of the "Two Zones" policies, Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Opening up the Service Sector and the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone, the CBD focuses on building a headquarters economy cluster, an international finance hub, a model zone for law-business integration, and a pioneer zone for an internationalized business environment.

An International Platform for Exchanges and Cooperation

Around 90 percent of Beijing's international business exhibitions and half of its international conferences are held in the CBD. The annual Beijing CBD Forum, with its permanent theme of "Dialogue with the World for Common Development", has become an important platform for China's international exchanges and cooperation. The forum draws insight from both domestic and international experts, as well as global business leaders, making it a leading venue for economic dialogue and business engagement — both in Beijing and across China. The 2025 Beijing CBD Forum has been comprehensively upgraded, introducing a new model of "never-ending forum, omnipresent negotiations". A year-round program of forum activities will be launched in close collaboration with international organizations, institutions and business associations, including the United Nations Development Programme, United Nations Industrial Development Organization Investment and Technology Promotion Office (Beijing, China), the Urban Land Institute, the China UK Business Development Centre, and the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, further enriching the forum's content and significance.

In 2024, Beijing CBD was elected as the President of the Global Business Districts Innovation Club, and China's first "Global Business Reception Hall" was launched in the CBD. According to The Attractiveness of Global Business Districts Report released by the Club in 2020, Beijing CBD ranked seventh worldwide, second in Asia, and retained the top position in China. For two consecutive years, Beijing CBD has been ranked first in Forbes China's Evaluation of Competitiveness and Consumption Competitiveness of Central Business Districts. It excels in international influence, economic output, functional diversity, consumer leadership, business appeal, and innovation capacity.

A Hub for Key Industries

The Beijing CBD is characterized by the headquarters economy, supported by the building-based economy, led by international financial industry, dominated by high-end business services, and home to a cluster of cultural and media entities.

The headquarters economy has been becoming increasingly prominent in the district. In 2023, the Beijing CBD launched a "Headquarters Growth Program" aimed at attracting multinationals around the globe to establish their headquarters in the district. This program not only targets regional headquarters, functional headquarters, and private enterprise headquarters, but also encourages existing headquarters enterprises to transform and upgrade in terms of development of new trade formats, operations management, and R&D design, among other functional domains. As of June 2025, the number of multinational regional headquarters in the Beijing CBD reached 122, accounting for 72 percent of Chaoyang District's total and nearly half of Beijing's total.

The international financial industry has been growing in an accelerated manner. Several global stock exchanges and international insurance institutions have established their presence in Chaoyang. Iconic financial institutions such as foreign-funded securities companies, foreign-funded auto finance companies, and foreign-funded fund management companies are all present. These made the CBD a commercial district with the most comprehensive range and the highest density of international financial institutions in Beijing.

The cultural and media sectors there hold distinct advantages. The CBD hosts over 80 percent of Beijing's international media outlets, including those of CNN and BBC, making it a crucial international cultural communication hub for China and Beijing's primary cluster for international media.

The district is also renowned for its high-end business services. It is home to over 200 world-class high-end service enterprises, including PwC and McKinsey & Company, as well as R&D centers of nearly 100 multinationals such as IBM and Samsung. It is the largest area for both undertaking service outsourcing and generating demand for such services.
