August 2021 Edition《津卫商务》2021年八月刊！

This month, we had the honour of interviewing Dr Mo Perwaiz, one of the most influential foreign business executives in China, with extensive experience in the high-end manufacturing sector. His long relationship with the country has lasted over 41 years, and he is one of the few foreigners that has personally known the last four top government leaders of China.

He is the General Manager of Airtech Asia Ltd., a division of Airtech Advanced Materials Group, the largest manufacturer worldwide of vacuum bagging and composite tooling materials. Their business focus areas include aerospace, wind energy, marine, automotive, printed circuit board, solar energy and general FRP composites.

Dr Mo Perwaiz has made many personal contributions to society, dedicating his private time to transferring his knowledge to future generations, and also promoting and sponsoring many charity events and specifically supporting educational projects in remote areas of China.

He has worked and lived in 11 countries, and his knowledge about China exceeded our expectations. He is a true team builder. “I am nothing without my team,” said Dr Mo, expressing how much respect he has for his colleagues, and how much he admires Chinese society. Don’t miss our interview with him.

In terms of economics and business news, we highlight the new battery production cell hub that will be built by Volkswagen in partnership with Gotion High-Tech. A group-wide centre of excellence with extensive cell laboratories, a pilot line for cell production, and a pilot plant for battery recycling are the solid foundation for the imminent construction of a cell factory, with a scheduled start of production in 2025.

The development of artificial intelligence in China and elsewhere will have ramifications in the transformation of manufacturing, not only in China but also in the rest of the world. How can China and the rest of the world work together to achieve a win-win situation? To discuss this question, the Tianjin government organized a webinar on June 25, 2021 under the theme "The Future of AI in Manufacturing Industries", which reflects the serious attention that our city is paying to AI and other new technologies.

A new bar has opened in the lobby of the Yanyuan International Hotel in Tianjin. QUEEN'S BEER is a Tianjin craft beer chain brand, and we had the opportunity to talk with the principal owner, Mrs Jia Yu, to learn more about this new opening and her business expansion plan. Check out our lifestyle column to get more detail.

We also feature in this issue a special report about the J Hotel Shanghai Tower, which opened on June 19, and is said to be the highest hotel in the world. The J Hotel occupies the top floors of the Shanghai Tower, which at 632 metres is the tallest building in China.
