OCC Chairman Ma Weiping Visits Jianfeng Group

On March 24, OCC Chairman Ma Weiping and his delegation visited Zhejiang Jianfeng Group Co., Ltd. and were warmly received by Jiang Xiaomeng, Party Secretary and Chairman of Jianfeng Group, and Yu Jianhong, General Manager of Jianfeng Group. The two sides had in-depth exchanges on the development trend of the cement industry.

Jiang Xiaomeng pointed out in the exchange that the current cement industry is facing a severe development situation, with serious overcapacity, continuous decline in demand and intensified market competition. In order to effectively cope with these challenges, the cement industry should focus on the following three aspects:

First, gather industry consensus and unify thinking and cognition. Enterprises in the industry should be fully aware of the importance of win-win cooperation, promote in-depth exchanges and communication among enterprises, avoid vicious competition, and work together to promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry; Second, it is necessary for relevant departments to thoroughly investigate the impact of imported clinker on the domestic cement industry, and reasonably impose tariffs on imported clinker according to the actual situation, so as to create a good market environment for the industry; Third, small and medium-sized enterprises should be honest: small and medium-sized enterprises occupy an important position in the cement industry, should strictly abide by market rules, actively participate in market coordination, and jointly safeguard the interests of the industry. Jiang Xiaomeng and

Ma Weiping, Party Secretary and Chairman

of Jianfeng Group, agreed with Jiang Xiaomeng and said that OCC was proposed by some cement enterprises and led by China Cement Network, in response to the central government's "strengthening industry autonomy and preventing vicious competition of involution".
