In 2025, Beijing's "Two Zones" (the Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Opening up the Services Sector and the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone) achieved remarkable results, marking a new phase in establishing a high-standard opening-up hub.

From January to November 2025, the city registered 2,121 newly established foreign-invested enterprises, marking a year-on-year increase of 19.4 percent. Foreign capital directed to Beijing's service sector accounted for nearly 90 percent of the city's total actual use of foreign investment, with the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone contributed close to half of that share—an increase of 15.4 percentage points compared to the same period a year earlier.

During the same period, foreign-invested enterprises above designated size in the city generated operating revenue of RMB 5.2 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.9 percent. Key sectors in the opening-up of the services sector showed strong momentum, with the foreign-invested revenue from information transmission, software, and information technology services maintaining double-digit growth. In 2025, Beijing approved 113 new foreign-invested R&D centers; operating revenue of relevant enterprises above designated size increased by 6.2 percent, while R&D expenses surged by 30.4 percent.

In the first 11 months of 2025, Beijing's total imports and exports reached RMB 2.9 trillion. Exports hit a record high, with an export value of RMB 568.35 billion, increasing by 3 percent. Service exports in Beijing rose by 8.8 percent in the same period.

Open‑platform capabilities have continued to strengthen. The main structure of Phase II of the Zhongguancun Comprehensive Bonded Zone has been fully capped. High-quality development measures at the Beijing Tianzhu Comprehensive Bonded  Zone were implemented, with its import and export volume remaining above RMB 100 billion for three consecutive years. Imports and exports of the Beijing Daxing International Airport Comprehensive Bonded Zone (Beijing area) increased by more than 50 percent.

In the first 11 months of 2025, enterprises above designated size in the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone generated RMB 4 trillion in operating revenue, marking an increase of 14.7 percent year-on-year. Over 300 new foreign-invested enterprises were established in the Free Trade Zone during this period, marking an increase of 26.6 percent.
