This Measures are hereby formulated in accordance with the Opinions of the People's Government of Beijing Municipality on Land Use Policies for Accelerating Scientific and Technological Innovation and Constructing a High-grade, Precision and Advanced Economic Structure (Trial) (Jing Zheng Fa [2017] No.39) to maximize the benefits of precious and scarce land resources in the core area and accelerate the construction of a high-grade, precision and advanced economic structure in the Dongcheng Park of Zhongguancun Science Park (hereinafter referred to as the "Park").

In accordance with the principles of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and the decisions deployed by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, the Park will be promoted to develop with high quality by deepening the supply-side structural reform, effectively utilizing land resources in the core area, and constructing a high-grade, precision and advanced economic structure.
II. Basic principles. In accordance with the principles of "usage determined by plans, supply conditions determined by industrial directions, supply prices determined by the market, and land users treated equally", enterprises engaged in high-grade, precision and advanced industries are organized to settle down preferentially and supplied with industrial land in the Park in accordance with the law.
III. Scope of application. This Measures shall apply to the Dongcheng Park of Zhongguancun Science Park of Zhongguancun National Demonstration Zone.

IX. Compensation for the withdrawal of land use
(I) If the Dongcheng District Government recovered the leased land in advance, for buildings continuing to be used, compensation shall be determined at the replacement price in combination with the assessment of degree of depreciation.
