Government-Enterprise Symposium: Symposium on the Development of Manufacturing Enterprises in Guangdong Province, 2020

In order to better communicate the government's new policies, facilitate face-to-face exchanges between member enterprises and government department leaders, and promote cooperation and communication among member enterprises, the Association held the "Symposium on the Development of Manufacturing Enterprises in Guangdong Province, 2020" on September 9. Government officials such as Wu Dongwen, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Guangdong Province; Liu Wenbin, Second-Level Inspector of the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission; and Feng Jingzheng, Second-Level Inspector of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Commerce, attended the meeting. Together with leaders of key enterprises in the province, they discussed in detail the current development status and challenges faced by the enterprises.

The meeting was presided over by Long Guowen, Executive President of the Guangdong Manufacturing Association. During the meeting, leaders from government functional departments analyzed the current economic situation and introduced recently implemented policies to support and benefit manufacturing enterprises. These measures have played a positive role in encouraging and guiding the development of manufacturing enterprises.

Leaders of participating enterprises took turns to speak, sharing insights into their business operations in the post-pandemic era and the challenges posed by China-U.S. trade frictions, while also putting forward relevant opinions and suggestions. Several enterprise representatives noted that the COVID-19 pandemic and the escalating trade tensions between China and the United States have significantly impacted their operations, though conditions have recently begun to improve. They expressed confidence that, under the guidance of the provincial government, enterprises will earnestly fulfill their primary responsibilities, strictly implement epidemic prevention measures, and accelerate the return to normal production and business activities. They believe that by doing so, enterprises will contribute more substantially to advancing high-quality manufacturing development in the province and strengthening its position as a leading manufacturing hub, thereby achieving even greater progress.
