Private enterprises set to play a bigger role in BRI promotion

Private enterprises are looking to play a bigger role in promoting China's Belt and Road Initiative to realize more benefits in foreign and domestic markets, according to industry experts.

Nan Cunhui, chairman of Chint Group, China's leading industrial electrical equipment and new-energy enterprise, said the BRI is bringing "huge" opportunities in foreign markets.

"Currently, more than 10,000 Chinese companies are doing business in Africa. Among them, 90 percent are private ones," said Nan.
