At 10:00 am, a flag-raising ceremony and a 70-gun salute opened a grand ceremony in Beijing. A total of 50 parade groups, including troops, armored Vehicles and other advanced military equipment were paraded past the gathered leaders. After the last air echelon flew over the Tiananmen Square, tens of thousands of pigeons and balloons were released. The Chinese people will always remember what the Chinese nation did for the victory and will usher in an even brighter future. In the preparation of this grand ceremony that attracts worldwide attention and during the parade, XCMG provided machinery equipment to assist the construction of themed flower bed in the parade square, as well as the handling of missiles and armored carriers for the parade groups.
It is XCMG's inherent responsibility to serve the country and make our due contributions. Over the past 72 years, despite the years of suffering in the wartime, XCMG would continue to strive for innovation and fuel the revival of the Chinese economy. It developed China's first steam roller and first Truck_crane/ 'target='_blank' style='color:blue;'>Truck Crane, and topped the list of global mobile cranes. It attended Bauma (trade fair) on behalf of Chinese enterprises. After the acquisition of the world-renowned Schwing Group (a Germany-based leading Concrete Machinery supplier) and the investment in the construction of the manufacturing base in Brazil, XCMG boasted an annual revenue of over RMB100 billion and became a leader in machinery industry in China and a famous brand in the world arena. From the foundation of new China, to the launch of the Reform and Opening-up policy, and to the economic boom today, XCMG witnessed the development of China's equipment manufacturing industry and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Adhering to its core value of "undertaking glorious task, cherishing lofty virtue, and making great achievements" and the long-standing aspiration of building a better world, XCMG will definitely make more contributions in the future.
President Wang Min said: "I dreamed of joining the military when I was 16. XCMG was formerly the 8th arsenal in south Shandong Province under the leadership of General Xu Shiyou, and played an important role during the Chinese people's tenacious war against Japanese aggression. 'All men share a common responsibility for the fate of their country.' The great spirit fostered in that war is the most precious spiritual wealth in the current era, and the unshakable core driving force of XCMG."

The rise of China as a great power would have not been possible without the contributions of numerous national backbone enterprises in the equipment manufacturing industry such as XCMG. "A strong manufacturing industry is indispensible to a country's prosperity. China must develop its own equipment manufacturing industry to compete with global peers." Wang Min firmly added, "China has always been a great nation with industrious, brave and wise people. I am convinced that the products made in China and Chinese brands can win a place in the world engineering machinery." In the future, XCMG will adhere to the spirit of diligence, great persistence and firm commitment, and make innovative and strenuous efforts to set a firm foot in the world of engineering machinery.
