The ZSC, established in 1998 and located in the Haidian District of Northwest Beijing, is the centerpiece of “China’s Silicon Valley.” It encompasses 200 square kilometers and is home to approximately 20,000 companies that have generated trillions of dollars in revenue. baron group

I’d want to double check that “trillions” number but 20,000 companies - that’s huge and largely under Western radar.
