chains in the post-epidemic era.
At the opening ceremony, Enrique Lores, HP CEO of the United States, Sohn Kyung
Shik, CJ Group President of South Korea, Fabrice Fourcade, EDF Corporate Vice
President, President of China and other leaders of Fortune Global 500 companies
reviewed and summarized the origin and cooperation results between their
companies and China through "online and offline" ways, with expectation to
further integrate into the development paradigm featuring dual circulation, in
which domestic and overseas markets reinforce each other through deepening
cooperation.
As China's leading cloud computing and big data service provider, Xiao Xue,
senior vice president of Inspur Group Co., Ltd., said at the summit that
China's economic development needs deep participation of multinationals,
including not only their investments but also their advanced management
concepts, technical capabilities and services. The relations between
multinationals and Chinese local companies are not alternative or purely
competitive, but competitive and also cooperative, which can be complementary
to each other.
Zhang Qingwei, full-time deputy secretary-general of the Secretariat of the
Qingdao Multinationals Summit, said that multinationals are an important
carrier connecting China's building of an overseas and domestic dual
circulation in the new development pattern. This summit will deepen exchanges
and cooperation between China and multinationals, and promote China's opening
up to the outside world in a wider scope, a wider field and at a deeper level.
It was reported that this summit was sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce of
the People's Republic of China and the Shandong Provincial People's Government
and lasted for two days. It aimed to build a platform for in-depth exchanges
and cooperation between multinationals and China, involved eight topics such as
China's carbon peak and the development opportunities of multinationals, and
released a research report entitled "Multinationals in China: A New Pattern
Brings New Opportunities".
As the first batch of coastal open cities in China, Qingdao is at the forefront
of reform and opening up, boasts a large number of national famous brands such
as Haier, Hisense and Tsingtao Brewery and has long been a hot spot for
multinationals to invest. 166 Fortune Global 500 companies including Panasonic,
Samsung and Airbus have invested and settled in Qingdao.
