Motorola Solutions Recognises China's 'Belt and Road Initiative' Opportunities
At last week's Critical Communications World, Motorola Solutions Chairman and President Michael Jiang said that the company already operated in some of the Belt and Road economies on mainland China.
The Belt and Road Initiative (B&R) has brought tremendous opportunities to technology company Motorola Solutions Inc, the head of its mainland operations said.
In an interview with Chinadaily he said he believed that Motorola's critical communications technology and equipment could be utilized－together with mainland companies－in areas ranging from transport, public security and hotels to nuclear power or forestry.
Jiang said Motorola Solutions was among the first overseas companies to set up its office on the mainland in 1987. He said the critical communications field had developed fast in the mainland, especially in the past five years, to reach international standards.
According to Jian, the current wave of technology and innovation in the mainland stimulates consumer demand, which was beneficial to Motorola's business. He said that he believed their technology systems would not easily be replaced in the short-term.
Going forward, Motorola would like to conduct mergers and acquisitions if there were appropriate companies and projects in the mainland.
This fits exactly with the Motorola Solutions strategy that was explained by CTO Paul Steinberg during one of our last video intervews taken at IWCE2017 in Las Vegas in March this year. Click here to see the interview as part of Vlog 28

The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road, also known as the Belt and Road Initiative (B&R) and The Belt and Road (B&R), is a development strategy proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping that focuses on connectivity and cooperation between Eurasian countries, primarily the People's Republic of China, the land-based "Silk Road Economic Belt" (SREB) and the oceangoing "Maritime Silk Road" (MSR).
The strategy underlines China's push to take a larger role in global affairs, and the desire to coordinate manufacturing capacity with other countries in areas such as steel manufacturing.
