[Economic Observation] How does CBD lead the service industry to open to the outside world?

  The "Blue Book of Central Business District: China Central Business District Development Report No.6 (2020)" recently jointly released by the Institute of Ecological Civilization of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China Business District Alliance, and Social Science Literature Press pointed out that with the deepening of reform and opening up, China’s service industry is deeply integrated into the global economy. As an important gathering area for the service industry, the CBD (Central Business District) has always adhered to reform first, opening first, and innovation first. The open structure of the service industry is continuously optimized, open fields are continuously expanded, and the open system environment is gradually improved. Effectively enhance the status of "China Services" in the global value chain.

  Economic serviceization and service globalization are important trends in the development of the world economy. The opening up of the service industry has a profound impact on the improvement of a country's economic development level and international competitiveness.

As an important gathering area for the service industry, how does CBD lead the service industry to open to the outside world?

  CBDs everywhere continue to accelerate the pace of opening up in key areas of the service industry.

Taking the ever-increasing level of openness in the financial service industry as an example, CBDs in various regions have seized opportunities such as pilot free trade zones and pilot expansion of the service industry, thoroughly implemented national and regional financial opening policies, and promoted and improved the overall level of openness.

For example, Shanghai Lujiazui Financial City focuses closely on the goal of accelerating the construction of a world-class financial city, bringing together more than 6,000 giants and emerging financial institutions in traditional financial services such as domestic and foreign banks, securities, and insurance.

  Local CBDs are seizing the opportunities of global trade pattern evolution and global technological change, and actively promoting service trade innovation.

New technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things have profoundly affected the evolution of the structure and format of the service industry, and at the same time greatly improved the tradability of services, providing technical conditions for countries around the world to carry out broader and deeper service trade.

CBDs everywhere use information technology and big data technology platforms to fully empower and upgrade traditional trade and industrial development. Digital trade, digital commerce, cross-border e-commerce, and e-sports industries are flourishing in the CBD.

For example, Beijing Tongzhou Canal CBD focuses on the National Cyber ​​Security Industrial Park, and actively attracts domestic and international new-generation information technology, software and information services, artificial intelligence and other industrial elements.

  The vigorously growing innovation ecology of CBD in various regions provides an important guarantee for the high-level opening and innovative development of the service industry.

Improving original innovation capabilities, gathering innovation resources, and providing innovation supplies are important paths for CBD to enhance its global competitiveness.

Based on the new situation of global technological change and competition for innovative talents, CBDs in various regions have maximized the vitality of innovation and entrepreneurship through measures such as reducing taxes and reducing burdens, optimizing the industrial ecosystem, and creating crowd-creation spaces.

For example, Nanjing Hexi CBD relies on 3 provincial and 8 municipal makers' spaces to provide enterprises with a full range of services of "community creation space + entrepreneurial counseling + financial communication + intermediary services + policy docking".

  In recent years, my country has successively issued a series of important measures to support the development of service trade and expand the opening up of service trade, and the tide of service industry opening up and innovation has come.

As a gathering place for the service industry, the CBD should assume more important responsibilities and missions in promoting the opening up of China's service industry and participating in the new round of economic globalization, and strive to build a frontier position for opening up.
