In February this year, the State Council, in its reply to the comprehensive pilot plan for expanding the opening up of Beijing's service industry, specifically proposed that Shijingshan District take the Bank of Beijing insurance Industrial Park as the core to accelerate the construction of a national financial industry demonstration zone. "We will set up a special fund for innovation and development of the insurance industrial park of the Bank of Beijing, and spend 800 million yuan every year to promote the agglomeration of modern financial industry," said Chen Zhichang, district chief of Shijingshan District, Beijing.
