  Our female entrepreneurs are participating in the high-quality development of our private economy. They also want to use their female power to show their wisdom, good attitude, big mind, and high-level structure. I think they are the must-haves for new female entrepreneurs in the future. She must have some qualities and a comprehensive ability. I think her business and her personal improvement will be able to develop better at the same time.

  As an overseas Fujian businessman, I am willing to give full play to the advantages and role of overseas Chinese as a bridge and link, and strive to promote economic and trade exchanges and cooperation between my hometown of Fujian, the Philippines, and even ASEAN. Help the hometown to maintain close communication and contact with overseas Chinese communities in the Philippines, attract overseas Chinese investment, gather overseas Chinese strength, and pool overseas Chinese wisdom, and contribute their own modest efforts.
