Island residents shout four Chinese words in one breath!, Because of this matter, the economy | China | China
In 2013, China historically put forward the "the Belt and Road" initiative.
In the past 10 years, the "the Belt and Road" initiative has promoted China's development and prosperity, and has also made important contributions to the progress of the international community and the establishment of a new international order.
Under the "the Belt and Road" initiative, with the continuous implementation of Chinese enterprises' overseas investment projects, many developing countries have continuously improved their infrastructure, effectively improved their industrialization level, and continuously enhanced their economic resilience.
Among them, the Garissa PV power station in Kenya alleviates the local "power shortage" problem, the third largest hydropower station in Ecuador promotes the development of the local economy, and the China Laos Railway helps domestic consumers to achieve "freedom of tropical fruits", while providing valuable opportunities for the rapid economic development of Laos
On December 6, 2022, the first Laos banana to China train of the China Laos Railway was shipped at Vientiane South Railway Station in Vientiane, the capital of Laos. At the same time, China's door to opening up to the outside world is also opening wider and wider, attracting companies from all over the world to invest in China and participate in the process of high-quality development in China.
10 years have passed, how has the development of Chinese enterprises going abroad been in the local area? What new discoveries have foreign companies made about China?
Recently, the "Dialogue CEO" column of China Daily invited Chen Sichang, the General Manager of China Civil Engineering Group Co., Ltd., a company that has been going abroad, and Bo Mingkai, the Asia Pacific Chief Operating Officer of Vestas, an energy company that has been in the Chinese market for more than 40 years, to share their feelings over the past 10 years!
China takes practical actions
Let the local people shout out 4 China!
As an outsider, it is not easy for Chinese enterprises to gain local trust and recognition due to cultural differences during their overseas journey. Only tangible achievements can achieve mutual understanding and common development among the people.
When it comes to the experience of building a coastal road on Tana Island in the island country of Vanuatu, Chen Sichang still cannot conceal his excitement.
He recalled that the local people were initially very resistant, believing that this action was damaging the local ecological environment. However, in reality, during the construction process, China Soil Engineering Group attaches great importance to environmental protection. "After the construction of the road, local agricultural products can be transported and sold, greatly improving people's livelihoods. The people especially support us and praise us endlessly."

Chen Sichang also told the interesting story of the locals cleverly adapting the name of China Soil Group to praise China. The abbreviation for the English name of China National Construction Engineering Corporation (CCECC) is CCECC. And the local people of Vanuatu have made this interpretation: China China Everything China! "China, China, everything is China."
Our official name is China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, CCECC for short When we were in Vanuatu, they have us a different name, China China Everything China
"The Chinese economy is probably the strongest in the world"
The "the Belt and Road" initiative is a new expansion of China's opening up model and an important measure to implement a new round of opening up.
In the past decade, China has formulated and implemented the Foreign Investment Law, improved the management system for foreign investment access, relaxed market access, reasonably compressed negative lists, and promoted high-level opening up to the outside world through institutional openness, thus promoting the realization of the Chinese Dream as soon as possible.
When talking about the "the Belt and Road" initiative, Bomkay first thought of infrastructure projects. As the world's leading wind power equipment manufacturer, Vestas, where Bomkay is located, also sees development prospects from the "the Belt and Road" initiative. "The 'the Belt and Road' can really help us build a transmission network, which makes us an enterprise like us, and also allows us to participate in it and make contributions. We build wind power plants on land and at sea to help achieve carbon neutrality."

After years of deep cultivation in China, Bomingkai has been able to speak fluent Chinese. During the interview, Bohemian Kate spoke in Chinese about China's economic recovery: "China's GDP grew by 4.5% year-on-year in the first quarter, and we can already see a positive impact on the economy. The Chinese economy is probably the strongest in the world, so I believe it will fully recover."
In addition, Bo Mingkai also talked about his views on the Chinese Dream. In his view, "the Chinese Dream is about a strong country and happy people, and it is remarkable." He believes that no matter what industry one engages in, whether it is Chinese enterprises or foreign-funded enterprises, "the Chinese Dream has our participation.".
