Xu Bin: China South Industries Group Chairman

Many of you have not heard of Xu Bin. He is the Chairman of China South Industries Group.  The firm is a manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycle, vehicles components, optical-electronics products and other special products in China and internationally. It also produces military equipment. The Group operates wind power and solar power businesses and manufactures power equipment including wind power products and photovoltaic application system accessories products.

Xu Bin is not your typical executive who is running a huge multibillion dollar company with global ties. China South Industries Group is basically a state owned company. Thus in a direct way Xu Bin has to be both a business executive mixed with the talents of a politician.  He handles great responsibilities as he not only deals with executives from other large corporations in purely business undertakings but also has to consider the fact of the government interests in the company namely the military aspect.

China South Industries Group Corporation was founded in July 1999, undertaking the mission of “army protection and allegiance to country, strengthening enterprise and enriching people”. It is an important state-owned backbone enterprise directly under the central government. The firm is headquartered in Beijing, China.
