The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 brought significant changes in global governance，the most important of which was the more influential role of the city as an independent unit in global governing. The interaction and interdependence nature among the non-state actors have provided key channels that the city can utilize to shape the global governance system. We summarized the effect of Beijing’s participation in global governance through institution construction，public goods provision，and value dissemination in 2021. In the future，Beijing aims to improve its international image and influence as well as serve the national strategy during the 14th Five Year Plan of China. Thus，it is expected to explore a more resilient urban governance model，cope with major domestic and international risks，coordinate the functions both as the capital city and regional center，and more actively promote the dialogue and cooperation with the international metropolis in the post-pandemic era.
