Darbinyan: Open environment and booming development make Shanghai a benchmark

In Darbinyan’s eyes, it’s not just the city that is changing rapidly, but also the people who live here.“The city becomes more international and open. Chinese people has become easier to communicate. For example, before maybe someone would ask his friend to communicate, but now all the people are very open and friendly and ready to communicate. For example, now if he is a small kid and he’s very interested to ask me a question and check his English. This is very nice. That means also people have been changed and become much easier to communicate. I enjoy this communication.”

He compares Shanghai to a person who is becoming more fascinating after being more deeply understood.“My love with Shanghai started and it was going on and on all these years without any stop. I’m learning Chinese letters, which are just fascinating. What would be next, I’m still questioning.”

More opportunities brought by reform and opening up

This year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up."Reform and opening up not only opens the door for China to the world, but also provides a better platform for Chinese companies to integrate into the world market." In recent years, with the continuous advancement of supply-side reforms, China's hardware industry has also undergone a profound transformation. The annual output value of the industry exceeds 1.5 trillion yuan, and the annual import and export volume amounts to 120 billion US dollars."It is precisely with the support of various government policies that China's hardware industry can make great progress. This development has also attracted more international counterparts to invest in China."
