Last but not least, Mr. Yuan Chaobin shared his insights on "The Impacts of COVID-19 on the Shipbuilding Industry". According to Mr. Yuan, with the spread of the virus worldwide, the impact on China's shipbuilding industry has shifted from an internal problem of work resumption to an external problem of market demand contracting as well as supply chain disruption. He provided several suggestions to Chinese shipbuilders on how to comprehensively strengthen their positions and survive the increasingly fierce competition between global shipbuilding industries.
