Tianjin, a key port and China’s seventh largest city lying on the shores of the Bohai Sea, is to step out of the shadow of neighboring Beijing and have its status elevated through focused financial support and regional cooperation.

China’s central bank and regulatory bodies have issued a comprehensive plan to boost the high-quality development of Tianjin, a direct-administered municipality.

While Tianjin, despite its strategic location and historical significance, has struggled to match the economic clout of Beijing, this initiative signals a major push to elevate Tianjin’s standing, particularly within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic corridor.
