: Disaster Relief

In the early morning of August 10, 2019, the super typhoon "Lekima" in the Northwest Pacific was engulfing China with violent storms. According to the statistics from the Information and Communication Administration under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the P.R.C., 4,835 base stations retired, 11,430 poles collapsed, and 3,828 km of optical cables damaged in Zhejiang, Shandong and Liaoning provinces. The communication sector organized forces for urgent recovery. YOFC paid close attention to the disaster event, and immediately launched the emergency mechanism for supplying optical cables to help the carriers recover the communication in the disaster areas in time.

: Disaster Relief

At the end of June 2016, when a serious hailstorm struck Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, YOFC immediately initiated its disaster relief emergency mechanism, providing optical cables. In early July 2016, following rainstorms that seriously affected much of southern China, including Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, YOFC was quick to provide optical cables to the still struggling flooded area. Through 36 hours of intense production efforts, YOFC helped to ensure rapid resumption of communications in the stricken areas.

Social Contributions

YOFC actively delivers on its obligations as a corporate citizen, contributing to social welfare undertakings, community building and through its transparency in communication.
