Multinationals on China | President of Hexagon MI Sees China Emerging as R&D Innovation Center

南方财经全媒体记者 吴斌 上海报道

Editor’s Note: Since the reform and opening-up, China has undergone profound transformations, with foreign multinational companies playing a key role. As important participants, they have provided indispensable momentum for China’s journey toward high-quality development. Meanwhile, the global expansion of Chinese multinational enterprises has brought new energy to the nation’s growth. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and we are launching the special coverage "Multinationals on China" to review the course of China’s high-level opening-up.

Josh Weiss, President of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence, told Southern Finance Omnimedia Corp. that China still represents the single largest manufacturing economy in the world.

Over the past few years, Weiss has seen an evolution. “Traditionally, it's been around taking the best in class technology globally and importing it into China and localizing it for Chinese customers,” he added. “Not only that strategy is still taking hold, but China itself is emerging rapidly as an R&D innovation center.”
