In order to achieve such an aim, the Beijing Administration will further introduce foreign-capital commerce enterprises objectively and actively.

The total retail amount of Community consumable and the GDP in Beijing has increased fast. As a backbone industry, the Beijing Circulation Industry runs to the third place, accounting for 8-10% of the GDP. In addition, it provides more than 1,400,000 employment opportunity, with one of four in the service undertaking commerce services.Mr. Liang deems that the modernization of the circulation industry plays an important role in the economic development, the improvement of people1 living standards and the transformation of the capital style and features, which could be fully expressed by the theme of the imminent convention-Circulation Changes People' Lives. He points out that such a modernization is exoteric rather than close, therefore the introduction of a brand or a famous circulation enterprise abroad will advance the level of the Circulation Industry as a whole instead of being harmful to the local enterprises. Henceforth, the Beijing Administration will actively offer the convenience and better service for the foreign-capital commerce enterprises' entry into Beijing under the State' s laws and policies.
