Uniting as one to fight the epidemic, balancing epidemic prevention with production.

On July 20, 2021, the Delta variant disrupted the tranquility of Nanjing; on July 28, the first case linked to Nanjing emerged in Yangzhou, triggering an outbreak in the city. Yizheng, situated midway between the two cities, then launched a “pandemic containment battle.” “Pandemic control is an order, and prevention and control is our responsibility.” In accordance with the unified deployment and requirements of the Yizheng City Pandemic Prevention and Control Command, the epidemic prevention team at ASIMCO Camshaft (Yizheng) Co., Ltd. has been closely monitoring the epidemic situation, maintaining close communication with higher-level health authorities, promptly disseminating the latest prevention and control regulations, and rigorously implementing all preventive measures. Designated personnel are assigned to disinfect public areas throughout the factory premises, and all employees must have their temperature checked, register, and present their SuKang code and travel history code upon entering the plant. In addition, each employee is provided with masks and disinfectant supplies, and staggered meal breaks are arranged for different shifts to ensure safe dining. These scientific and effective measures have effectively safeguarded every checkpoint in the pandemic prevention process. Epidemic prevention is of paramount importance. Under the unified deployment of the higher-level authorities in the automotive industrial park, the company has organized employees to undergo mass nucleic acid testing in a well-structured and orderly manner, screened and isolated individuals identified as contacts, resolutely blocked the risk of transmission, and effectively protected the physical and mental health of all employees while ensuring the normal operation of production and delivery. To date, phased achievements have been made in epidemic prevention and control. With the situation stabilizing, the company continues to treat pandemic prevention as a top priority, while also optimizing internal workflows, enhancing quality and efficiency, and ensuring that production operations and epidemic prevention efforts proceed hand in hand. The company is making every effort to ensure the smooth completion of all production and business targets.

Recently, ASIMCO Camshaft (Yizheng) Co., Ltd. donated beverages, instant noodles, milk, and other logistical supplies to the Epidemic Prevention and Control Task Force of the Yizheng Automotive Industrial Park, thereby supporting the park’s epidemic prevention efforts. On this front line of the battle against the epidemic—where there is no smoke—park officials, employees, and volunteers have steadfastly held the line, braving danger and working tirelessly to ensure the safety and health of enterprises within the park. As a company, we have an obligation to support epidemic prevention and control, and we hope to contribute our modest share. We firmly believe that as long as everyone works together in solidarity, adopts scientific prevention and control measures, and implements targeted strategies, we will surely win this battle to contain the epidemic!

A Century of Struggle, Embarking on a New Journey—July Study of Party History

To create a strong atmosphere throughout the city in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and to develop artistic platforms for studying Party history, Yizheng City has meticulously staged the large-scale modern Yang opera “Jiang Jie” and incorporated it into the programs for Party history study and education as well as the mass-themed publicity and education campaign “Forever Follow the Party.” Our Party branch has actively responded to the call from higher authorities by organizing 20 Party members to attend a performance of “Jiang Jie” at 7:00 p.m. on July 9, 2021, thereby fully leveraging the educational and promotional impact of traditional culture in Party history study activities. Every Party member should learn from Jiang Jie’s spirit of fearlessness in the face of sacrifice and courageous struggle, remain sincerely loyal to the Party and the country, and contribute to the continued development of our Party! Additional news: On July 15, 2021, the Party branch organized Party members to watch the patriotic educational film “Battle on Triangle Hill,” allowing them to experience, through vivid and immersive scenes, the brutality and hardships of the wartime era and to appreciate how hard-won today’s peaceful times are. Countless Party members sacrificed their lives to secure the happy life of socialism in the new era; therefore, we must further understand Party history, be grateful to the Party, work diligently, support development, and make unremitting efforts for the prosperity and strength of our motherland.

ASIMCO Camshaft Communications Team Visits the China Grand Canal Museum

Recently, in order to enrich the cultural life of the company’s communications team and to promote learning and exchange, a group of 16 members—including both existing team members and newly hired college graduates—visited the China Grand Canal Museum, under the planning and organization of the Human Resources Department. The Grand Canal Museum is located along the ancient Sanwan section of the Grand Canal in Yangzhou. It is a specialized museum that comprehensively showcases the World Heritage value of the Grand Canal across the entire river basin, throughout all historical periods, and from every possible perspective. Covering an exhibition area of approximately 18,000 square meters, the museum features 11 uniquely designed display spaces, including “Impressions of the Canal Streets” and “The Epic Scroll of the Chinese Grand Canal.” Through the visit, participants gained a deep appreciation for the canal’s past and present, learned about the sophisticated hydraulic engineering, grain transportation and salt trade, commercial activities, traditional opera, folk beliefs, and everyday urban life along the canal. They unanimously praised the museum’s rich and diverse exhibits, noting that they had the rare opportunity to closely examine many precious cultural relics previously only found in books, and to experience details that cannot be fully conveyed through reading. They expressed their intention to return in the future to continue their learning. Although the visit lasted only half a day, it felt as though they had traveled through time and space. At the conclusion of the tour, everyone still wished it could have lasted longer. “Yangzhou is such a wonderful place—rich in history and blessed with outstanding people,” remarked one of the newly hired college graduates. The young employee pledged to study and work diligently, strive to integrate quickly into the team, and contribute her share to the company. She also expressed hope that the company would organize more such activities in the future, enabling employees to gain a deeper understanding of local history and culture and thereby enhance their own cultural literacy.

Visiting Red Memories and Promoting the Revolutionary Spirit — The CPC ASIMCO Camshaft Party Branch Visits and Studies the Memorial Hall of the New Fourth Army Headquarters in Huanghuatang

On July 4, to mark the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, a delegation of more than 20 members from the CPC branch of ASIMCO Camshaft (Yizheng) Co., Ltd. visited the Memorial Hall of the New Fourth Army Headquarters in Huanghuatang, Xuyi, to revisit the revolutionary past and undergo a spiritual cleansing. This was not only a red tourism trip but also a journey of soul purification. The four exhibition halls of the Memorial Hall of the New Fourth Army Headquarters in Huanghuatang showcased, through extensive historical documents, precious revolutionary relics, and numerous little-known news photos and materials from the New Fourth Army era, the remarkable achievements of the New Fourth Army headquarters during its time in Huanghuatang—strategizing between humble thatched cottages and securing victory across the country. In the historical exhibition hall, visitors listened attentively to the docent’s explanation of the glorious history and fine traditions of the New Fourth Army while carefully examining the valuable photographs, artifacts, and documents on display. Everyone was deeply moved by the arduous and extraordinary struggles of the New Fourth Army back then. Seeing the crude and simple daily necessities as well as the many artifacts used by the army headquarters, medical units, and ordnance factories at the time, they were profoundly touched by the revolutionary spirit of the martyrs who overcame countless difficulties and persevered to the end. Through this visit and study, participants gained a deeper understanding that the history of this “red iron army” is a living chronicle of the people’s armed forces, as well as a heroic and tragic chapter in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the national liberation movement. By revisiting history and reflecting on the present, the party members reaffirmed their oath of joining the Party in front of the solemn New Fourth Army Memorial Hall. As members of the Party in the new era, they all expressed their commitment to always stay true to their original aspiration and keep their mission firmly in mind, to perform their duties conscientiously and fulfill their responsibilities, to set an example in their work, to play a pioneering and exemplary role as Party members, and to contribute their share to the development and growth of the camshaft business.

Strengthen safety and environmental protection efforts to ensure the stable development of the enterprise.

On June 29–30, 2021, under the chairmanship of Mr. Cui Yusen, EHS Manager at ASIMCO Headquarters, and with the participation of the company’s Safety Supervision and Environmental Protection Department, a workshop was held to discuss improvement plans for ASIMCO Camshaft in two areas: the implementation of the safety production responsibility system and the enhancement of accident management. The new Work Safety Law was approved and promulgated by President Xi Jinping on June 10, 2021, and will officially come into effect on September 1, 2021. The new law clarifies the principal responsibility for work safety, establishes a safety responsibility system covering all employees, and requires the establishment of a tiered risk management and control system. By thoroughly studying the regulatory requirements, grasping the spirit of the law, and planning to establish and improve a comprehensive work safety responsibility system for all employees, the company has reviewed the current status of safety responsibility implementation, identified gaps through benchmarking, and formulated improvement measures and a corresponding improvement plan. In addition, the company has clarified the relationships among safety production responsibilities at different levels and established an EHS responsibility framework to guide the subsequent updating and refinement of job responsibilities. There are cyclical fluctuations in the occurrence of safety incidents, which are closely related to weak safety awareness and reduced efforts in safety management. Therefore, it is essential to maintain rigorous safety management and provide continuous training and education. By improving the management of safety incidents, enhancing the safety incident database, and refining case-based training methods for positions, the company aims to strengthen safety risk awareness and encourage employees to conduct self-inspections for potential hazards in their respective roles through cautionary and interactive learning approaches. Recently, a series of national and local laws and regulations concerning work safety, environmental protection, occupational health, and other areas have been successively issued and implemented, marking a shift from “strict approval, light supervision” to “light approval, strict supervision.” These measures strengthen compliance requirements, clarify the principal responsibility of enterprises, and compel companies to carry out genuine and effective EHS work. Since the beginning of this year, the company has required all managers to actively change their mindset, address shortcomings in control measures, organize safety risk assessments and environmental risk evaluations for each position, optimize emergency response plans for sudden environmental incidents, establish a dual-prevention mechanism for hierarchical risk management and hazard identification and remediation, and leverage new technology upgrade projects to refine environmental impact assessment documents and revise the company’s pollution discharge permit. These efforts aim to advance the implementation of responsibilities and move risk control upstream, thereby supporting the stable and orderly development of the enterprise. (ASIMCO Camshaft, Ye Ren)
