BEIJING — China’s push for high-quality economic development is increasingly being powered by private enterprises that combine technological innovation with stronger regional and global connectivity, playing a growing role in industrial upgrading and supply-chain resilience.
In manufacturing, Silvery Dragon Group Co Ltd Tianjin has expanded its footprint along the prestressed materials value chain, supplying core components for major infrastructure projects nationwide. The company provides integrated solutions covering prestressed materials, concrete components, technical services, digital engineering, and intelligent production.
Silvery Dragon’s self-developed ultra-high-strength prestressed steel strands, with tensile strengths between 2,100 and 2,400 megapascals, have been used in large-scale highway and railway bridge projects, enhancing load-bearing capacity and optimizing structural design. The company also contributed to national and industry standards, including the CRTS III high-speed railway track slab, which supports China’s high-speed rail projects overseas.
Beyond infrastructure, Silvery Dragon is investing in green energy. Its prestressing construction management and intelligent monitoring systems for hybrid wind power towers enable real-time monitoring, automated diagnostics, and maintenance, improving safety and durability. The firm plans continued investments in wind power and photovoltaic projects, advancing China’s carbon neutrality goals.
Private firms in logistics are similarly strengthening China’s global connectivity. YXE Trading Service Group operates the YXE China Railway Express, linking China with Central Asia and Europe. In 2025, the Zhejiang China-Europe Railway Express (Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe route) ran over 3,000 trains, opening 26 international rail freight routes, with cumulative operations surpassing 14,900 trains and 1.22 million TEUs shipped. High value-added goods such as photovoltaic modules, new energy vehicle components, and intelligent equipment accounted for a growing share.
Safety and efficiency remain central. YXE employs full-chain safety management, dynamic pricing, and international coordination to mitigate cargo loss, damage, and regulatory risks. “We will continue to build safe, digital, and green rail services to support efficient, resilient, and secure international logistics corridors,” said Feng Xubin, chairman of YXE Group.
These developments illustrate how China’s private sector is driving high-quality growth, integrating innovation, sustainability, and international connectivity to strengthen the nation’s industrial foundation and global trade links.
