Beijing hi-tech up 20 percent

The added value of hi-tech industries in Beijing exceeded 180 billion yuan last year, an increase of 20 percent. Nearly half of the State's major science and technology infrastructure is in the city, according to statistics from Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission. As Beijing's hi-tech industry continued to develop last year, a high-end integrated circuit was put into production, software output passed the 100 billion yuan mark, the Zhongguancun Software Park was developed into a wireless broadband network park and traditional Chinese medicine entered the international market through patent licensing.

In addition, the commission invested a total of 14 million yuan last year in initiating a project for "Aids Prevention Strategies and Integrated Control". It is planned that in the next three years an aids prevention system will be in place using prevention measures, control strategies, scientific research, diagnosis and treatment.
