About · 关于

Twenty years, a hundred thousand enterprises, one observer.

A man moving between factory floors, industrial parks, government meeting rooms, and overseas delegations. His words are not loud, but they carry weight; his writing is not ornate, but it stands up over time.

Xie Hong, born 1969 in Shantou, Guangdong. He is Executive President and Secretary-General of the Guangdong SME Development Promotion Association; a member of the Party Committee and Discipline Inspection Commission of Guangdong’s Social Organizations; and a deputy to the 14th Guangdong Provincial People’s Congress (Foshan Delegation).

Over the past two decades, his Association has served more than one hundred thousand small and medium-sized enterprises. Under the name "The Walker’s View," he has continuously observed and written about the real conditions of China’s SMEs — from the workshops of the Pearl River Delta, to craft upgrades among specialized and refined manufacturers, to digitalization and a new commercial civilization.

He believes SMEs are not a "56789" — they are the "1" of China’s modernization.
