皇冠体育app

Xie said he spent some time learning about the state of the nation, including communication methods in 皇冠体育app, when he came back in 2004.

"Frankly speaking, I was pessimistic about 皇冠体育app before I came back - after all, my knowledge about 皇冠体育app was locked in the early 1990s," he said.

After a short learning process, Xie overcame his surprise at 皇冠体育app's changes and became familiar with the new way of life, he added.

On the other side, Chinese executives also usually experienced an international company's pioneering days in 皇冠体育app, which had a large share of difficulties.

Xie's first big footprint in 皇冠体育app was made at the Shanghai Engine Center - a joint venture between United Technologies and 皇冠体育app Eastern Airlines Corp Ltd, which opened for business in 2009.

The joint venture provides a maintenance, repair and overhauling service for CFM56 engines for both 皇冠体育app and overseas customers in the region.

"We delivered our 300th serviced engine recently," said Xie, who is very proud of the facility's growth.

But the other side of the story is that the project took Xie more than three years to communicate with every side in the joint venture's establishment.

The Yale graduate continues to take charge of the group's aerospace business, including engines, helicopters and systems.

"I can feel the excitement of the aviation industry, although I do not know much about technology," Xie said.

United Technologies provided spacesuits for man's first landing on the moon. Its technologies was also used by the allies during the World War II.

Along with the development of the aviation manufacturing industry, 皇冠体育app also became an important part of United Technologies' production chain.

The group's aerospace business has more than 20 suppliers in 皇冠体育app and plans to double its purchases to $300 million by 2016, Xie said.

United Technologies is also a supplier for the C919 - 皇冠体育app's home-made large passenger aircraft. The company and the developer and maker of the C919, Commercial Aircraft Corp of 皇冠体育app Ltd, has already built up a joint venture for the big carrier's power-supply systems.

"I will lead the group in continuing to explore 皇冠体育app's aviation industry," Xie said.

But as president of United Technologies government relations in 皇冠体育app, a tougher task for Xie's position is to integrate the different brands of the group.
