Xi Jinping has always been concerned about this historic project
Xiong'an New Area was personally planned, decided and promoted by General Secretary Xi Jinping.
In promoting the implementation of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development strategy, the task of easing Beijing's non-capital functions is the top priority. Choosing a centralized bearing site, the idea of "jumping out" to build a new city gradually surfaced, and the "Xiongxian-Rongcheng-Anxin" scheme stood out.
In February 2017, the general secretary made a special trip to Anxin County, Hebei Province for a field visit. He pointed out, "The construction of Xiong'an New Area is a historic project. More than a month after this field visit, the news of the establishment of Hebei Xiong'an New Area was officially "officially announced".
In October of that year, the general secretary stressed in the report of the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China that it is necessary to plan from a high starting point and build the Xiong'an New Area with high standards.

In January 2019, the general secretary went to Xiong'an again as the first stop for the inspection of the three provinces and cities of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. At that time, the Xiong'an New Area after the "plan" had shifted from the top-level design stage to the substantive construction stage.
At the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Symposium held during the inspection, the general secretary stressed that it is necessary to maintain historical patience and strategic determination, and promote the planning and construction of Xiong'an New Area with high quality and high standards.
In October last year, "high-standard and high-quality construction of Xiong'an New Area" was written into the report of the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Today, Xiong'an New Area has entered the stage of placing equal emphasis on large-scale construction and undertaking Beijing's non-capital functions, and the focus of work has shifted to high-quality construction, high-level management, and high-quality dredging and development.
After four years, the general secretary set foot on the hot land of Xiong'an for the third time. From looking at traffic, entering the community, asking about ecology, to hosting symposiums, each place contains the general secretary's in-depth consideration and planning for promoting the construction of Xiong'an New Area with high standards and high quality.

Xiong'an Station is the first major infrastructure project to start construction in Xiong'an New Area. As an interchange station in the new district, it will become a new hub of China's "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network in the future. In January 2019, when the general secretary visited Xiong'an, he video-connected the builders of Xiong'an Station and praised them as "pioneers" in the construction of Xiong'an New Area.
At Xiong'an Station, the general secretary pointed out that it is necessary to further improve the traffic "fine vessels" connecting Xiong'an Station and Xiong'an New Area, improve the efficiency of crowd logistics gathering and evacuation, and build the Zangang area into a high-end high-tech industry cluster.

The hub of Xiong'an Intercity Station is mainly located underground, and the surrounding projects are interconnected through the underground urban activity layer, forming an important urban vitality space that gathers popularity. The International Trade Center consists of 9 building units, integrating rail transit, aviation services, office, commerce, hotel and other complex functions.

At the construction site of the Xiong'an Intercity Station and International Trade Center project, the general secretary said that transportation is the bloodline of modern cities. Only when the blood is smooth, can the city develop healthily. Efforts should be made to build a three-dimensional comprehensive transportation network, make full use of underground space, strive to build a future city without "urban diseases", and truly turn high-standard urban planning blueprints into high-quality urban development reality pictures.

This community has resettled more than 5000,<> people from Anxin and Rongcheng counties.

"Whether the urban work is done well or not, whether the people are satisfied or not, whether life is convenient or not, urban management and service status are important judging criteria." The general secretary has always had such a gold standard for evaluating urban work.
At the beginning of the establishment of Xiong'an New Area, the general secretary pointed out the direction for the construction of the city: it is necessary to adhere to the people-centered, start from the needs of citizens, achieve density, green and low-carbon, return to the basics, provide a livable environment, high-quality public services, and effectively attract Beijing's population and function relief.

During his first visit to Xiong'an New Area in February 2017, the general secretary said that the equalization of basic public services was an important prerequisite for the orderly decentralization of Beijing's non-capital functions. People go high, water flows low. Places with a high level of public services are more attractive. He stressed that the establishment of Xiong'an New Area must allow the people to get more benefits and have a real sense of gain.

During this inspection, the general secretary pointed out that to build the Xiong'an New Area, it is important to connect the peaceful living and happy work, so that the masses can live steadily, live in peace and have a head. It is necessary to simultaneously promote the modernization of urban governance, make good efforts to "embroider" from the beginning, actively promote the equalization of basic public services, and build a "people's city" that is suitable for work and livability in the new era.

"Look at Shenzhen in the 80s, Pudong in the 90s, and Xiong'an in the 21st century." In just 6 years, Xiong'an New Area has emerged from scratch, from blueprint to reality, and a high-level modern city is rising up, which is a miracle.
During this inspection, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the construction of Xiong'an New Area is a major plan of the millennium and a major national event, and we must neither be impetuous nor wait for what is needed, but must work hard and make contributions for a long time.
This is the millennium relay of Chinese civilization, and this is the historical ambition of China in the new era.
