Du leqian, who came to China for the 25th time, participated in the China development high-level forum being held in Beijing as the president of caterpillar group for the first time. In a face-to-face conversation with the author at Diaoyutai state guesthouse on March 19, For China and China China's one belt, one road theme: "China and the world: economic restructuring and structural reform", the role of the Chinese market in Caterpillar's global strategy and layout, the impact of President Trump's request that American companies move back to their homeland, the impact of Caterpillar's development in China, how Caterpillar will respond to the possible changes, and the "one belt" project that Caterpillar has participated in or is ready to participate in. One by one elaborated their own views and viewpoints

when it comes to President Trump's policy of manufacturing return, how will it affect caterpillar's influence in the world and China? Will the company's strategy change with Trump's policy

president Du leqian said frankly that caterpillar is a global company. We believe that the best way to do business is to realize our production as close as possible to our market and customers. We can better understand what our customers need and help them achieve success. And closer to the market, we can respond more quickly. Many of the machines and equipment we produce are very large in size and the transportation cost is very expensive. Therefore, we will continue our manufacturing work in the United States, and we will continue our manufacturing work in China

he stressed: "Caterpillar is committed to very long-term development in China. We have been operating in China for 40 years. We have more than 10000 employees, 27 production sites and 4 R & D centers in China. We design, develop and produce products locally in China. We cultivate and develop suppliers with poor sense of cooperation and train our local leaders. Therefore, we have a long-term vision and really build a business model in China We are a long-term commitment. We are a global company. There is no doubt that the North American market is very important to us, and we will continue to show our strength in the North American market. Similarly, China is also a very important market for us. We will continue to keep as close a distance and relationship as possible with the Chinese market, Chinese customers and Chinese dealers. "

speaking of a fresh feeling of participating in the forum, President Du leqian said happily that in his speech in the morning, a guest described a beautiful picture in very vivid language: blue sky, green mountains and green water for fear of poor contact between the sample and the anvil. We very much support the initiatives and plans of the Chinese government in sustainable development and environmental protection. As an enterprise, caterpillar has made a lot of investment in engine emission technology to reduce engine emissions. If the Chinese government can take stronger efforts to implement laws and regulations on environmental protection, it means that all practitioners in the industry should implement more stringent technical requirements on environmental protection, which is good news for the industry. In the past four years, caterpillar has published a sustainable development report specifically for China every year. We warmly discuss with our Chinese colleagues how to support some initiatives and policies of the Chinese government in sustainable development

China's one belt, one road strategy, one belt, one road project that Caterpillar has joined or is preparing to take part in. p>

president Du leqian said: "China China China China government's one belt, one road initiative" is very supportive. We think this is a very good news for China, for China's economic development, for the development of the region, and for Caterpillar's own development. In fact, we have been closely related to some large Chinese construction enterprises and have participated in many "one belt and one road" projects, such as the example of the "sides". We and Chinese large construction enterprises have undertaken many large projects in Africa and South America. The one belt, one road work of Caterpillar has a very good congenital condition. First we can produce such a yellow machine, which is our engineering equipment. Second, we have a very strong dealer network all over the world; We know that when Chinese engineering contractors go abroad to Africa or South America, they need very good local services. Our dealers all over these places can provide them with very good services in Chinese language and even Chinese people. Now, Caterpillar's global dealer network is ready to welcome large Chinese engineering contracting enterprises to develop business in different places at any time. So China's distributors one belt, one road in China and the other in the US, should be a very good advantage for us to take an active part in the "one belt". p>
