-- Governments at different levels in China have made concerted efforts to help enterprises resume production, in a move that helps stabilize the global supply chain.

-- During the COVID-19 epidemic, China's manufacturing sector has withstood the "stress test" from the virus, and helped ensure a steady global supply of medical goods, as well as stable industrial and supply chains, said Xin Guobin, vice minister of industry and information technology.

-- During the epidemic, China's business environment and stable industrial supply chain have won widespread recognition from foreign investors.

NANJING, Aug. 23  -- Chinese carmaker SAIC MAXUS Automotive Co., Ltd. has managed to buck the trend of a global automobile industry recession amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with vehicle sales rising by 26.4 percent year on year in July.

"Our team has gone through all of our 1,288 suppliers to sort out possible problems early during the epidemic, which is full of twists," said Wang Ying, general manager of SAIC MAXUS's Nanjing Plant in east China's Jiangsu Province.

"We even requested the local authorities to help transfer parts and even equipment from Wuhan, a strategically important city of China's automobile industry that was hard hit during the epidemic," said Wang.

Thanks to the resilient supply chain in the world's largest auto market, SAIC MAXUS resumed full operations of its four manufacturing bases on Feb. 24.
