District officials in Chaoyang, the center of Beijing's CBD, say they will use their international connections to serve as the capital's financial and business hub even better under the 12th Five-Yea Plan (2011-2015).
Under the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010) Beijing's CBD, in the Chaoyang district, has developed a business-oriented, international finance industry in the midst of media-related businesses.
The Beijing CBD is now holding the presidency of the World CBD Alliance - its first time - and will be hosting the Alliance's annual meeting.
The spotlight will be focused on Beijing again this autumn, for the 2011 Beijing CBD International Business Festival, from Sept 15 to 19 at the China World Trade Center's Tower III.
