As to why XCMG, a local state-owned enterprise could become China first and the world’s sixth construction machinery company, Wang Min, chairman and party secretary of XCMG gave the best answer:

“We are only more focused, stick to the general direction of reform, and stick to the main business of construction machinery without being tempted by other interests so that XCMG can be unswerving, indomitable and constantly moving forward in the difficult times.”
