Li Qian, Secretary of the Hongkou District Party Committee, recently paid field visits to major enterprises within the district. He held face-to-face discussions with corporate executives to gain in-depth insights into business operations, hear corporate development needs, and ensure concrete delivery of measures to stabilize economic growth.
Founded in October 2025, Shanghai Hongmao Tongda International Trade Co., Ltd. specializes in cross-border trade and comprehensive supply-chain services. As a diversified trading firm, its core business covers bulk commodities including metallic materials, mineral products, and coal and coal-related products. Leveraging Hongkou’s geographic and opening-up strengths, the company expands into both domestic and overseas markets, builds efficient cross-border supply-chain systems, and develops trade networks covering key markets at home and abroad.
Li Qian pointed out that the commercial and service sector serves as a crucial pillar for regional economic growth. He expressed hopes that the enterprise will build on its industrial strengths, align closely with national strategies and Shanghai’s development blueprint, diversify business scenarios, boost market competitiveness and influence, unlock further growth momentum, and pursue sound and sustainable development. Relevant government departments should provide proactive, forward-leaning support, establish service platforms for government-enterprise communication and resource sharing, and underpin the enterprise’s high-quality growth.
Established in December 2023, Shanghai Yitai Donghong Energy Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inner Mongolia Yitai Coal Co., Ltd. Drawing on group-wide resources, the company focuses on the sales, transportation and trading of coal and coal-derived products, while expanding into coal-chemical and energy technology services. Since settling in Hongkou, it has actively contributed to local industrial upgrading.
According to Li Qian, the energy industry constitutes a foundational and strategic pillar of the national economy. He encouraged the company to root its operations in Hongkou, stay focused on core business, pursue innovation-driven development, and align with regional industrial planning. Capitalizing on its resource advantages, the firm should deepen collaboration with upstream and downstream industry partners, expand its cooperative ecosystem, and elevate brand stature. Hongkou will strengthen government-enterprise coordination, deliver full-spectrum factor support, and offer steadfast backing for the enterprise to scale up and thrive.
