(Let Pudong start over) People in the overseas Chinese community remain optimistic about the opportunities in Pudong and hope to contribute to creating a new miracle of reform and opening up.
China News Agency, Shanghai, December 1 (Reporter Xu Jing) Since the first development and opening horn was sounded officially in Pudong, Shanghai in 1990, one after another was born here in 30 years the “No. 1 of China and World No. 1 “. Among the builders who participated in the development and opening of Pudong, there are a large number of overseas Chinese who came to Pudong to invest and start business with capital and technology.
Practice has shown that the overseas Chinese community people are an important force in promoting the development and openness of Pudong. They said that in the next 30 years they will make the most of their own advantages, better serve the reform and opening of Pudong, start from the general situation, and contribute to creating a new miracle of high-level reform and openness in the new era.
In 1998, Chang Zhaohua, vice president of the China Federation of Industry and Commerce and president of Shanghai MicroPort Medical Devices (Group) Co., Ltd., came to Zhangjiang, Pudong, where “the river was dotted and farmers’ crops they were everywhere, “and founded MicroPort Medical Devices (Shanghai) Limited Liability Company. At the time, very few “returnees” participated in the Pudong wave of development and entrepreneurship, and few knew about cardiac stents.
Chang Zhaohua lamented that early in his business, Pudong did not neglect him because it was not a Fortune 500 company brought in by a returned entrepreneur, nor did he give up support for minimally invasive ones due to the indifference of the high-end medical industry.
At present, MicroPort has incubated nearly 20 high-tech medical enterprises, developed hundreds of high-end medical device products such as cardiac stents, heart valves, and large-scale industrialization, rewriting China’s past history of relying on imports. in this field.
Chang Zhaohua said that in the future, it will continue to strengthen its belief in independent innovation, adhere to the concept of global collaborative innovation, adhere to a higher level of high-quality development, improve the level of the industrial chain, accelerate transformation. scientific and technological achievements in real productivity and will benefit the general public. Contribute to the national “14th Five-Year Plan” and long-term goals for 2035.
Chang Zhaohua’s life story is one of the countless foreign students who have come to Pudong.
“In the golden fall of 1996, my husband and I left the family business we created in the United States, returned to Shanghai, the city where I grew up, and started our business in the Pudong Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park,” said Zhou Min, General manager of Gil Biochemical (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Gil Biochemical is growing gradually by taking advantage of the east wind of development and opening of Pudong.
After more than 20 years of hard work, Gill Biochemical has grown into a company with the most complete varieties of peptide reagents and specialty amino acids in the world. During the COVID-19 epidemic, Gil Biochemical developed and produced around 4,500 antigenic peptides, which were provided to multiple research institutions for the development of COVID-19 vaccines and specific drugs.
Zhou Min said that Pudong, who has turned 30, is at the forefront and begins a new journey of “starting over”. Gil Biochemical will also break the waves and continue to develop products and services in the field of original research peptides, allowing Chinese brands to serve. Contribute to human health around the world.
People from the overseas Chinese community who have roots in Pudong, in addition to steadily advancing on the path of entrepreneurship, have also turned their attention to serving the “returnees”.
Cheng Dong served as Vice President of the Shanghai Overseas Chinese Returnees Federation, Vice President of the Pudong New Area Federation of Overseas Chinese Returnees, President of the Pudong New Area Overseas Chinese Returnees Association, and President of the Pudong New Area Branch. the Zhangjiang High-tech Park Overseas Chinese Federation. He went to Germany to study in 1990 and returned to China in 1998 to start a business. Founded Shanghai Yingta Information Technology Co., Ltd. and other companies.
Cheng Dong boldly proposed the corporate work concept of “integrating global talent resources and serving China’s innovation and development”, and led the Leftovers League to initiate the establishment of the “International Talent Development Alliance of Pudong “and the establishment of the Pudong International Talent Development Center as the institutional bearer of the alliance.
Cheng Dong told reporters that, looking back over the past 30 years, the development and openness of Pudong has provided a great stage for returnees from studying abroad, allowing them to contribute their youth, sweat and make a difference. Looking ahead to the next 30 years, Pudong should lead the way and bring wisdom and technology from around the world to practice in this hot land. I believe that overseas Chinese can also find more opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. (End up)
