Beijing is now home to the headquarters of 52 companies on the Fortune Global 500, the most of any city in the world for four straight years.

Companies in service sectors account for three-fourth of all the headquarters. In addition, 161 major multi-national corporations have regional headquarters in the city.

Beijing plans to further improve its policies to create the best possible environment for these companies in 2017.
