In recent years, laws and regulations related to new chemical substances and hazardous chemicals have been revised and updated. Our department is also responsible for tracking these laws and regulations and for maintaining communication and consultations with the Chinese government and industry associations on behalf of the enterprise. Although there are only four of us, we all get along well with each other, share information, and assist each other in our work.

Personal Hobbies

I am a freedom-loving Sagittarius, and I enjoy getting together with friends for parties or trips. Although we are not able to go abroad due to the pandemic, there are many beautiful scenic spots in China for us to enjoy. If you get a chance to come to Beijing in the future, please do let me do the honors.

About Beijing During the Olympic Winter Games

As a famous historical city, Beijing will be familiar to everyone. But are you familiar with Beijing as a double Olympic city? During the Olympic Winter Games, 180,000 people in Beijing participated in ensuring the operation of the city, with 17 competition areas in Beijing and 8 competition areas in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, set up as a closed-loop environment in which the relevant personnel of the Olympic Games worked and competed, and which met the needs of epidemic prevention, competition and normal life of the city to the greatest extent. Therefore, the city of Beijing during the Olympic Winter Games, apart from the Together for a Shared Future broadcast in the streets and the citizens queuing to buy Bing Dwen Dwen (the official mascot of the 2022 Winter Olympics), is not much different from ordinary life.
