On the afternoon of October 15, the Group invited Director Xia Wenwu from the Shaoxing Municipal Development and Reform Commission to our company to deliver a briefing on the current economic situation. Attending the meeting were Chen Bailiang, Chairman of the Group’s Board of Directors; Ren Qiliang, President of the Group; Jiang Jinlong, Executive Vice President; Vice Presidents Luo Yinchang, Dong Feng, Fang Yaqian, Jin Fei, and Tang Genmei; Party Committee Deputy Secretary Ruan Zhongsheng; heads of all subsidiaries; as well as mid-level managers and Party members from various Zhejiang-based companies. The briefing covered three main topics: first, an analysis of the macroeconomic landscape; second, key priorities for China’s industrial development in the years ahead; and third, strategies for enterprises to navigate the current macroeconomic environment.

First, Director Xia analyzed the overall macroeconomic situation from three perspectives: the international environment, the domestic context, and the local conditions in Shaoxing. He argued that, on the international front, the global economy is currently in a phase of slow recovery—primarily because it is undergoing a prolonged downturn and structural adjustment within a long economic cycle; secondly, it is navigating a period of readjustment as the Sino‑U.S. economic balance continues to rebalance; and thirdly, it is in an incubation phase for new technologies. Overall, therefore, the international landscape remains at the bottom of a U‑shaped trajectory. Domestically, the economy is experiencing sluggish growth, with risks stemming from excess production capacity, fiscal and financial vulnerabilities, and the influence of political cycles. As for Shaoxing’s macroeconomic outlook, it is characterized by a gradual adjustment process.

When discussing the future direction of China’s industrial development, Director Xia urged enterprises and employees to pay close attention to the agenda of the upcoming Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, and to orient their growth toward sectors such as energy conservation and environmental protection, the life and health industry, information‑consumption services, urban infrastructure, and elderly‑care services—keeping pace with the times and advancing in step with the evolving era.

Turning to the final question—how enterprises should respond to the current macroeconomic environment—Director Xia urged our companies to: first, adopt a medium- to long-term strategy and align with national priorities; second, maintain a clear core business focus; third, ensure an advanced corporate governance structure; fourth, implement rigorous, meticulous management practices; and fifth, cultivate an outstanding corporate culture.

Finally, President Ren Qiliang addressed the audience. He noted that Director Xia had delivered a highly detailed and vivid lecture on the economic outlook, providing a comprehensive overview of the international, domestic, and Shaoxing-specific economic landscape, complemented by insightful commentary and analysis that proved both enlightening and instructive. Drawing on the analogy of Sun Wukong’s inability to escape the Buddha’s palm, President Ren illustrated the relationship between enterprises and the broader macroeconomic environment. He emphasized that, regardless of how our companies operate, they remain inextricably linked to the overarching economic trends, development trajectories, and directional shifts. Consequently, we must formulate our strategies and set our course within the context of the macroeconomic framework, aligning them with our specific industries.

Finally, President Ren urged all companies and departments to carefully analyze Director Xia’s report, leverage their respective ingenuity, pool wisdom from all quarters, and, in light of actual conditions, promptly set next year’s objectives and strategic direction. He also called for the formulation of a robust corporate development strategy, the mobilization of our collective enthusiasm, and the realization of new growth and progress in the coming year.
