On April 1, 2017, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, China's Cabinet, announced the establishment of Xiong'an New Area in the counties of Xiongxian, Rongcheng and Anxin, and some surrounding areas. It was a major historic strategic decision made by the top leadership, and it signaled another new area of national significance after the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong New Area. Recently, Xiong'an New Area has entered an important stage of large-scale development and construction and is undertaking the simultaneous promotion of noncapital functions in Beijing.
