He added that last month, Hisense's self-developed color ultrasound products entered Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates and other Belt and Road countries.

At present, the group has 12 research and development centers, 18 industrial parks, 55 companies and offices overseas. (Edited by Su Dan with Xinhua Silk Road, sudan@xinhua.org)
