President Xi Jinping encouraged TISCO staff during his visit to the Precision Strip Company, TISCO on May 12th, saying that “I see the high–tech is vigorously developed in Shanxi province. TISCO has been making continuously progress in technological innovation and transformational upgrade. It is hoped that the company make persistent efforts to scale new heights, and take greater steps in supporting the country’s advanced manufacturing.” The whole company is greatly inspired by Xi’s visit and speech.

Gao Xiangming, the Chairman of the company, accompanied President Xi on the visit and introduced to Xi the achievements in terms of product development and technological innovation made by the company. Gao couldn’t help recalling another visit paid by Xi 3 years ago. He said, “Back to the June of 2017, President Xi came to making an inspection to our high-end carbon fiber products. Xi stressed the new material industry as a strategic and fundamental industry, as well as a key sector in high-tech competition. The general secretary Xi encouraged us to catch up with the most advanced level, to work harder in innovation and to make greater contributions to China's manufacturing. In the following 3 years, we never forgot his entrustment. We spared no efforts in deepening reform and innovative development. And today, the general secretary once again urges us to continue to climb the science and technology peak. Taking today as a new starting point, we will seize every minute to press ahead, soundly operate the company, and contribute our power to Shanxi's high-quality transformation and development.”

The precision strip company is the origin place for “hand-tearable steel”. Its manager Wang Tianxiang and his colleagues were totally pumped up by Xi’s visit. Wang said, “The general secretary fully affirmed our achievements in technological innovation. He asked us to further climb the technological peak in field of stainless steel. This is not only a great encouragement, but also an expectation and requirement. We must bear in mind the general secretary's instructions, renew our efforts in innovation, constantly overcome technological difficulties, and repay the general secretary's care and support with new fruits.”

TISCO has led the industry in technological innovation for many years. The arrival of the general secretary has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the vast number of scientific and technical personnel. Nan Hai, the director of TISCO Technology Center said, “Innovation is the most important aspect of scientific research. Our researchers will keep in mind the general secretary's instructions, adhere to the stand of independent innovation, stick to serving the country, carry forward the spirit of craftsmen, aim at the state's cutting-edge technology and the materials urgently needed in the state's key construction fields, irrigate the achievements of innovation with hard work, boldly pick up the shining shells on the stainless steel beaches with unremitting efforts, and make new and greater contributions to TISCO's further development into the world.”

Liao Xi, the vice director of technology and quality department of precision strip company, also the product engineer of “hand-tearable steel”, felt very excited to President Xi’s speech. “We are so proud that President Xi made a visit to the company. We will follow the requirements of the general secretary, put innovation in a more prominent position, make more breakthroughs in technology, continuously improve the scientific and technological content of products, and live up to the expectations of the general secretary,” he said. Duan Haojie, the chief of rolling workshop, stated that “The general secretary hopes TISCO continue its efforts in scientific and technological innovation and scale new heights bravely. As the core production process, the rolling workshop bears great responsibility. We will keep in mind the general secretary's instructions, carry forward the spirit of innovation, work hard on special products that are super flat, super hard and super thin, speed up the original production of competitive products, and make contribution to the high-quality transformation and development of TISCO.”

Never to give up in challenging new height. TISCO staff will live up to the general secretary’s instructions and expectations. The company will follow the general route and requirements for development, further deepen the reform, shoulder the responsibility of innovation as a state-owned company, drive the transformation from “made in China” to “created in China”, contribute to the transformational upgrade of Chinese traditional manufacturing industry.
