A pump factory starts humming again, but challenges remain
Since February 10, many of China's factories have resumed operations. And that's widely seen as important not only for China but also for the rest of the world in that the country is now an integral part of the global supply chain.

Shanghai Sino-Korea Dooch Pump produces pumps for residential and office buildings. They have resumed production since February 10, but challenges remain.
Many of the company's spare parts suppliers in China have yet to resume operations. Given the drastic fall in domestic orders, some have chosen to postpone their production till late February.
"We are only at about 30 percent of our usual production capacity", said Xian Mingzhe, general manager of the company.

But in the meantime, the company still has to pay factory rents and employees' wages. The troubles of China's pump suppliers raise concerns from international markets, as China exports up to 28 percent of the world's mechanical equipment.
Similar concerns are widely shared across different industries. For example, Apple has 30 suppliers in China, while Hubei Province – the epicenter of the epidemic, produces over two million cars for the world annually.
That makes the survival of Chinese companies hugely important, even crucial, for the global economy. "I am sure we will be able to rebound after this outbreak ends. But the challenge at hand is surviving through this period," said Xian.
一家泵厂开始复工,但挑战依然存在。
(CGTN采访译文)自2月10日以来,中国许多工厂已恢复运营生产。这不仅对中国而且对世界其他地区也很重要,因为中国现已成为全球供应链重要的组成部分。上海中韩杜科泵业有限公司主要生产用于建筑工程、市政以及工业用水泵,拥有稳定的自营出口业务。他们从2月10日起恢复生产,但目前仍然面临着很多挑战。
上海中韩杜科在中国的许多备件供应商尚未恢复运营。鉴于国内订单的急剧下降,一些公司选择将其生产推迟到2月下旬。上海中韩杜科董事长咸明哲说:“我们目前的产能仅为正常产能的30%左右。”
中国泵供应商的困境引起了国际市场的关注,因为中国机械设备出口产值占据全球28%的比例。在不同行业中也广泛存在类似的担忧。例如,苹果公司在中国有30个供应商,而湖北省是本次疫情的重点地区,湖北省每年为世界生产超过200万辆汽车。这使得中国公司的生存对于全球经济极为重要,甚至至关重要。
咸明哲董事长说:“我确信在这次疫情结束后我们能够反弹。但是在这一时期,眼前的挑战依然存在。”
