Yet Beijing is still home to some of the best universities in the country and the world. Honestly I've heard of Shenzhen as the manufacturing capital or the tech capital, but it's the first time I'm hearing of Shenzhen as a research hub. China is also not segregated by cities' expertise but by provincial policy. For example, some cities, like Hangzhou had a very preferential treatment towards tech, by virtue of the provincial investment fund being invested in tech companies compared to the usual state-owned steel mill crap.
