Recently, in an interview with CCTV, Dong Mingzhu emphasized that Gree Electric Appliances has rarely faced any infringement - related challenges. This is largely attributed to the company's unwavering commitment to independently developing its core technologies. Since 2012, Gree has embarked on a new chapter of growth. Its R&D team has experienced a remarkable expansion, growing from a few hundred members to a staggering 20,000. This expansion has enabled the establishment of a comprehensive research and development framework. This framework encompasses over ten research institutes, more than a hundred research centers, and in excess of a thousand laboratories. Gree firmly upholds the principle of independent innovation, constantly achieving technological breakthroughs. By doing so, it secures complete autonomy and command over the entire industrial chain, ensuring its operations are self - reliant and in full control.
