            COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
          
        
        
          The Group has proactively assisted the PRC government and
        
        
          society to address the employment problem and offered a large
        
        
          number of job opportunities to the public, and contributed to
        
        
          alleviating employment pressure. Whilst accelerating its own
        
        
          development, the Group is devoted to supporting social charity
        
        
          and proactively alleviate poverty by giving assistance to those in
        
        
          need. It also actively participates in charity affairs in education,
        
        
          culture and sports. In 2015, the Group made charitable and
        
        
          other donations of RMB0.36 million in total.
        
        
          The Group contributes to social safety with the help of
        
        
          informatization. We have tailor-made and constructed a
        
        
          remote monitoring and alarm network system in rural credit
        
        
          co-operatives in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. We
        
        
          have also reinforced security by integrating technology,
        
        
          manpower and securing facilities. The Group has played a critical role in the improvement of security management standards and
        
        
          the capability of guaranteeing security services of rural co-operative financial institutions, and promoted economic development
        
        
          in new rural areas.
        
        
          We also provide informatization services in Africa to facilitate the standard of informatization. As an EPC contractor, the Group
        
        
          undertook the national ICT fiber cable backbone transmission network project in Tanzania. By constructing such a backbone,
        
        
          regional and professional network, we have improved Tanzania’s informatization capacity, thereby driving the economic
        
        
          development. Tanzania has become an important hub of communications in eastern Africa, and raised the influence of the
        
        
          country. We employed over 8,000 local employees for the construction of the Tanzania project and over 100 local employees
        
        
          upon completion and effectively resolved the employment issue. The project has already been regarded as a classic sample of
        
        
          “Sino-Tanzania friendship” and economic co-operation between the two countries.
