Evidence snapshot for Beijing
Beijing is home to Zhongguancun Science Park, China's premier innovation hub, which by 2024 hosted approximately 28,300 high-tech enterprises, 93 unicorn companies, and 2.7 million employees generating ~7.6 trillion yuan in revenue. The city is also central to China's National Ageing-Adaptation Mandate, through which the MIIT ordered major platforms including WeChat and Alipay to add elder-friendly versions by September 2021, though a 2024 study of 55 older users found over 90% preferred informal family help over these modes. The evidence does not provide substantive quantified information about other aspects of Beijing's economy, society or governance.
