STORYLINE:

Japanese businessman Nobukazu Yuzawa is the Executive Vice President of Meiji Dairies (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., a newly-opened factory in north China's Tianjin Municipality.

He said that he has been impressed by the speed of China's development, as well as the huge growth opportunities that China offers to the world.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Japanese): NOBUKAZU YUZAWA, Executive Vice President, Meiji Dairies (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.
"I first came to China in 2005, mainly to buy raw material for fruit yogurt produced in Japan.
At that time, I felt that China was developing at a really fast pace. China's products are good, and the high-speed railway is convenient. And I believe that China will develop even faster in the future."

In 2020, Yuzawa was dispatched to Tianjin by the company to prepare for the construction of a new factory there.

With a total investment of 705 million yuan (97 million U.S. dollars), the factory is now put into operation, with main products like milk and yogurt.

"China's industrialization level is also very high, especially the application of China's IT technology and information system technology, which are leading in the world. For example, the automation system used in our cool warehouse in Tianjin plant is developed by Chinese enterprises themselves, and its products are of good quality and cost-effective."
