    Chinese private sector accelerates work resumption, stabilizes employment

    Workshops of HoDo Group, one of China’s largest apparel manufacturers based in
    eastern Jiangsu province, have been lighted every single night since Feb.1 when the
    company started engine on the production of protective suits to meet the urgent
    demand during the COVID-19 epidemic, with over 200 employees racing against the
    time to cut, stitch and pack the products.
    Now, the company is able to produce 300,000 protective suits on a monthly basis.
    That is just an epitome of Chinese enterprises stepping up efforts to cope with the
    disease.
    Chinese pharmaceutical companies such as Jointown Pharmaceutical Group, Yiling
    Pharmaceutical and Humanwell Healthcare promptly resumed production to
    guarantee medical supplies while making money and material donations.
    Wuhan Guide Infrared Co., Ltd. mobilized its staff to work overtime, in an attempt to
    send its thermal imagers to transportation hubs and the city’s hospitals as early as
    possible.
    Makeshift hospitals Huoshenshan and Leishenshan in Wuhan became rendezvous of
    donations as they received IT equipment from Lenovo, home appliances from Midea,
    TCL and Skyworth, as well as pipe products from Kingbull. Besides, Spring Airlines
    offered free service of air transportation for emergency materials, and Transfar Group
    Co., Ltd., SF Express and JD Logistics opened green logistics channels.
    As of March 30, a total of 110,314 private enterprises across the country had
    contributed efforts to epidemic prevention and control through donation, fundraising,
    insurance, rent exemption and subsidies, according to statistics from the All-China
    Federation of Industry and Commerce.
    They donated 17.21 billion yuan in cash and 11.88 billion yuan in materials, raising a
    fund of 6.18 million yuan and reducing cost of 15.21 billion yuan through insurance
    reimbursement, rent exemption, and subsidies.
    Employment is essential to people's well-being. While vowing no salary cuts or
    layoffs, some private firms created more job opportunities.
    On March 27, Chinese beverage producer Wahaha Group held an online job fair,
    planning to recruit over 1,000 people.
    “Private firms are a major absorber of workforce, and we have the obligation to
    stabilize employment,” said Zong Qinghou, chairman of the group, adding that
    entrepreneurs must make sure their company follows epidemic prevention and control
    measures, properly manage their employees and do their own things well at the
    critical moment of epidemic control.

    Chinese private companies, sticking to production frontline, are also offering mutual
    assistance through synergetic efforts and coordination, so as to connect every link on
    the industrial chain.
    At the international distribution center of Cainiao, the logistics arm of Chinese e-
    commerce giant Alibaba in Yiwu, east China’s Zhejiang province, parcels collected
    by couriers are being scanned and sorted by automated devices. The parcels are
    transported to Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport at 10:00 pm each day before
    heading for global destinations.
    “COVID-19 grounded international passenger flights, leading to shrinking resources
    of cargo transportation,” said Xiong Wei, assistant to the CEO of Cainiao and general
    manager of AliExpress's export logistics division. He told People’s Daily that it is
    urgent to straighten international logistics as it plays an important part in stabilizing
    foreign trade.
    At present, Cainiao has fully recovered its air cargo transportation, and is expanding
    its charter business to make up the insufficiency of international transportation
    capacity. A number of international charter flights have been opened by the company.
    Hengtong Group Co Ltd, a Jiangsu-based company engaged in optical fiber
    manufacturing and electric power and network construction, recently shipped its ultra-
    high pressure submarine cables to its overseas clients.
    “We will strive to exploit our advantages for the construction of new infrastructure,
    and the COVID-19 epidemic cannot stop our steps of work resumption. Our company
    ‘feeds on’ the reform and opening up, and also grows because of national
    development, so at the critical moment we must take our responsibilities,” said Cui
    Genliang, chairman and president of Hengtong Group.
