XIONG’AN, March 30 (Xinhua) — Since China announced plans to establish the Xiong’an New Area in April 2017, it has evolved from a blueprint into a vibrant city.
The development of Xiong’an New Area, dubbed China’s “city of the future,” has entered a phase when the same importance must be attached to both its large-scale construction and its purpose to relieve Beijing of functions non-essential to its role as the national capital.
