ZHONGSHAN, China, Mar. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Ming Yang Wind Power Group Limited's ("Ming Yang" or "the Company") (NYSE: MY) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chuanwei Zhang, recently delivered a speech headlined "Our Country Should Develop Advanced Equipment Manufacturing Industry under the Context of New Normal" at China's National People's Congress ("NPC") in Beijing as a member of the NPC.

In his speech to all NPC members as well as China's high-ranking government officials attending the meeting, Mr. Zhang emphasized that since equipment manufacturing is a capital-, technology- and labor-intensive sector and in turn, plays an important role in investment, technology innovation and employment, it is without a doubt a pillar industry of China. Therefore, its future development should receive additional attention from the government. The domestic equipment manufacturing industry, currently faces various difficulties amidst an increasingly competitive global environment.

As China is now entering the "New Normal" phase, which focuses on higher quality growth over quantity, Mr. Zhang suggested that more favorable policies for companies should be introduced in the advanced equipment manufacturing sector, such as preferential tax treatment and priority in land acquisitions. Mr. Zhang proposed that the government set up industry funds to invest in certain key manufacturing companies and encourage research and development innovations. Mr. Zhang further expected commercial banks and other financial institutions to lower interest rates in favor of equipment manufacturing clients. In addition, in Mr. Zhang's view, local governments should include the equipment manufacturing industry in its industrial master plan with reference to the Guangdong model, where the provincial government established well-organized and strategically-located industrial zones along the west bank of the pearl river for top-tier manufacturers, where Ming Yang's major China operations currently locate. Lastly, Mr. Zhang believed the equipment industry would see more mergers and industry consolidations in the near future, which would create synergies and allow manufacturers to provide more value-added total solution services.
