The KOAM asked the Chinese to handle the construction of a community, in the city of Incheon, for overseas Koreans with US citizenship, including two super-high-rise business buildings, over 180 meters tall, with four floors below ground and 49 above, covering 290,000 square meters.

CETC integrated circuitry goes overseas

When the China Electronics Technology (Group) Corp, a leader in China's electronics and information system integration, got orders from Russia for integrated circuitry packaging equipment, it stopped the foreign control of the Chinese market and opened more overseas markets. Before 2012, the field was completely controlled by US, Japanese and Singaporean companies. To meet the Russians' equipment needs alone, Chen Wen, a chief expert and member of the Global Expert Hiring Team, explains, he got his research team to explore the field for more than a year and got 200 million yuan in equipment earnings from the domestic market, and they are now on a global journey.
