Datang extends reach to upgrade export structure

Datang Telecom Technology and Industry Group, a Chinese telecommunications equipment company, will further implement its "going global" strategy in an effort to upgrade China's export structure, a top executive of the company told China Daily.

"In the past, Chinese enterprises went abroad mainly to build roads and bridges. Now we want to export more self-owned high technologies," said Yuan Yong, vice-president of Datang Telecom International Technology Co Ltd.

"As a central State-owned enterprise we are supposed to contribute to the national strategy of the 'going global' policy and upgrade our export structure. We feel the task lying ahead is challenging," he added.
