Corning makes bold bet on China

Corning Incorporated is deepening its presence in China as the country accelerates its transition toward high-quality, innovation-driven growth — a strategic shift the United States-based materials science company sees as closely aligned with its core strengths in advanced materials across optical communications, display, and automotive markets.

"China has entered a stage of high-quality development. Going forward, boosting technological innovation will be crucial," said Lin Chunmei, president and general manager of Corning Greater China. "China's push to foster new quality productive forces and innovation-driven growth is aligned with Corning's strengths. When China sets a goal, it usually delivers, because it channels all its resources toward achieving it."

"China's long-term economic prospects remain positive. Every economy goes through cycles — sometimes it grows faster, sometimes slower," she said. "We may be facing some short-term difficulties, but we are still confident in the long run. Our customers are here, and we grow together with them. That hasn't changed."
