Beijing to play design guru

Beijing is gearing up to play a leading role in the story of "China design" by reaching out to global design institutes and talents.

The newly opened Design Service Center (DSC) in Gehua Beijing Creative Center (BCC) hopes to entice designers from abroad, by providing them with not only office space, but also with comprehensive local support.

"One major concern of international designers is copyright protection," says Wang Yudong, director of BCC.
