QINGDAO, China, Oct. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Foreign journalists
commended China's production
capacity and ability to innovate in
the manufacturing sector boosted by opening-up drive in a press
tour to east China's Shandong Province, from October 9 to 12.
"Without the reform and opening-up policy, the companies [like
those we visited] would not have grown so rapidly," said Zigor
Aldama Gonzalez, a journalist from the Spanish Colpisa News Agency,
adding that China should continue
to advance the policy.
During the two-day first leg of the press tour in Jinan, capital of Shandong Province, foreign journalists visited
the China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. (Sinotruk) and
the joint venture between China
and German multinational industrial control and automation company
Festo.
At the Sinotruk, the interview group learned about major truck
models on the market including the Howo and Sitrak, the history,
business focus and efforts in innovation of the company.
At Festo, they gained a glimpse of the vitality of the
time-honored German company in the inland city of Jinan. The workshop is clean and tidy,
measuring 48,000 square meters. Production was highly automated and
only a few employees were found on the scene, the journalists
said.
The visits were part of a four-day program named "New Shandong
Momentum Marks a New Day for China's Opening-up," which invited foreign
journalists to Shandong for
extensive interview activities.
Jointly launched by the Information Office of the Shandong
Provincial People's Government and China Report Press, the program
aims to facilitate the international community to better understand
the economic and social development in China as the province is welcoming the Qingdao
Multinationals Summit scheduled for October
19-20.
