Development gap is shrinking among Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei

The regional development gap among Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province is shrinking, a key report has disclosed.

In a far-reaching survey, more than 60 percent of the 1,200 people questioned felt integrated transports links, such as rail, road and air, had made significant progress since 2005-15, and brought the regions closer together.

Along with the survey, detailed government data are contained in the Index Report for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Integrated Development, published by a think tank under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on Monday.
