The report noted that since its establishment in March 2016, the Alliance has adhered to the guiding principle of “being rooted in the industry, serving enterprises, sharing resources, and achieving win-win cooperation.” Under the correct leadership of the First Board of Directors and through the joint efforts of all members, the Alliance has steadily promoted member management and development.
