A1 China has continued to steadily promote reform and opening-up for more than 40 years. Adhering to both "bringing in" and "going out", China has consistently contributed to an open, inclusive, shared and balanced global economy. This is a remarkable achievement.

China not only continuously optimizes its business environment to attract foreign investors, including Western Digital, but also supports vigorous development of various industries to greatly improve people's quality of life. I think this is one of the main factors that has led China to achieve such great results in its prosperity.

A2 As the global market faces challenges, China is still unswerving in its mission to deepen reform and opening-up and share opportunities with the world through a series of measures that promote economic recovery.

This has strengthened the confidence of many enterprises with global businesses and plans in China. At Western Digital, we will continue to work with partners from all sectors to deepen cooperation and contribute to the high-quality development of both China and the global digital ecosystem through our leading storage technology.

A3 Over the past few decades, we have witnessed China work to achieve its Two Centenary Goals with a concerted nationwide effort. In the 14th Five-Year Plan's chapter on building a "Digital China", it clarifies China's direction for digital transformation and advancing in every aspect.

As a leader in data infrastructure, this is an exciting direction for Western Digital. We provide comprehensive solutions to fully activate the potential of data and tap into its value, accelerating and empowering digital transformation to serve as a new engine of economic development.

A4 Advanced digital technology, accelerated digital infrastructure construction and a huge user base are all advantages for the rapid and sustained development of China's digital economy. And all of these are accompanied by an explosive growth in data storage requirements.

Western Digital continues to pay attention to the development trends of the China market and has insights into these diversified and ubiquitous storage needs. Based on these, we will continue to explore innovative data solutions that reduce costs and increase efficiency with ecosystem partners in the Chinese market to meet growing market demand.

Western Digital attaches great importance to the Chinese market. China's digital economy is developing rapidly. With the rise of emerging fields and development of leading technologies, including IoT, cloud computing and 5G, the demand for data storage in the China market is unprecedentedly huge, and will keep growing in the future.

A5 China is actively advancing research into key digital technologies and strengthening innovation in data infrastructure. This requires engagement throughout the entire industry chain, from data storage and management at the bottom to digital applications at the top.

This enables China to respond to any uncertainty in the economic environment with smarter and flexible deployment, thereby enhancing overall resilience. This will create a sustainable and stable investment environment for foreign companies and investors like Western Digital.
