Xi Jinping: State-owned enterprises must reform, and they cannot cling to the old ways

On the morning of the 13th, Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Shandong, came to Wanhua Yantai Industrial Park. He was very happy to learn that the company had taken a path of introduction, digestion, absorption, re-innovation and independent creation, and that its technological innovation capabilities had grown from nothing to something, from weak to strong, and had become an industry leader. He said that looking back on your journey, you have done a good job all the way. Although it was a difficult entrepreneurial road, it was very successful. One of my experiences of success is that you took the road of independent innovation. Nothing is impossible, and you must have such a spirit, just as Qu Yuan said, “The road is long and far, and I will search up and down.” Who says that state-owned enterprises cannot be managed well? To do well, you must reform, and you cannot cling to the old ways. If the reform is successful, you can become a modern enterprise. I hope that everyone will continue to work hard, make concerted efforts, complete it in one go, and be consistent, and move forward courageously towards your established goals.
