Made in China gains recognition overseas

A Chinese company's rapid progress - just 10 months from project approval to the start of production - has been an eye-opener for many observers in Uzbekistan.

Last year, construction started on a plate glass manufacturing and deep-processing facility, entirely funded by China's Ming Yuan Silu Corp, in the city of Jizzakh. The first round of construction is expected to finish in May, when manufacturing will begin.

Li Xiangchen, president of Ming Yuan Silu, said the project in Jizzakh's Pengsheng Industrial Park, will be completed in September 2019. The facility includes five different types of production line, and completion will make the company the largest plate glass manufacturer in Central Asia.
