President Xi has delivered a speech on the opening ceremony of CIIE for the second consecutive year, which underlines the importance of CIIE, and demonstrates China's consistent commitment to the multilateral trading system and promoting free trade. We are inspired and encouraged by his speech to promote a cooperative, innovative and shared world economy.

Corning is one of the first companies that entered the Chinese market since China's opening-up. Now, China has become the second-biggest market for Corning after North America. During our development and investment, we have witnessed that China has taken solid and practical steps to embrace the world and future development through expanding the market, improving the market structure, and optimizing the business environment, and this is also addressed in President Xi's speech.

We are fully confident in the future of the Chinese economy as the country upholds the principles of inclusive development and shared benefits, which will definitely promote the development of all Corning's business sectors including optical communications, display technologies, automotive, mobile consumer electronics and life sciences.
