<article><section data-type="rtext">On November 7, State Grid Corporation of China held a cloud opening day event at the main venue in Dehua County, Fujian Province of China and the parallel venues in Brazil and Chile.In the theme of “Blanc de Chine Renewed by Green Electricity”, the event aimed to enable the cultural exchange and mutual learning among China, Brazil, and Chile, focused on traditional handicrafts, i.e., the white porcelain of China, the woodcarving of Brazil, and the ceramics of Chile, with a view to developing friendship among the three parties and building a sustainable future together.Over 200 Chinese and foreign employees of State Grid Corporation of China, including those of State Grid Fujian Electric Power Co., Ltd., State Grid Brazil Holding S.A., CPFL Energia S.A., Chilquinta Energía, and Compania General de Electricidad (CGE), participated in the event online or offline. Via video link, the event vividly introduced the Dehua porcelain firing technology, one of the country’s first intangible cultural heritages. Particularly, it showed that Dehua, the world's home of ceramics, has renewed the ceramic industry by using clean electricity to make ceramics, and that the State Grid Corporation of China has therefore blazed a new path to the common development of the power grid and ecological civilization through unrelenting efforts.On the site of the event, Liu Mingzhi, a Chinese Arts and Crafts Master and a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage, and Xu Lizhi, a post-90s porcelain artist and an arts and crafts celebrity from Fujian Province, exhibited the rapid kneading and moulding processes of ceramic statues and porcelain flowers, among other things. Lin Xiaofang, a national technical expert in the ceramic industry and an Arts and Crafts Master of Fujian Province, introduced participants to the ceramic painting skills. Zheng Jiongxin, curator of Dehua Ceramics Museum, gave a lecture entitled Why the Blanc de Chine?, introducing the evolution of Dehua ceramics and the spread and influence of "Chinese white porcelain" across the world. Members of the local folk music band Dehua Ceramics that Can Sing played the traditional Chinese music Jasmine Flower with ceramic instruments such as xiao (a bamboo flute), flutes, bowls, drums, and ocarina. Echoing with the ceramic culture, the melodic tune brought an audio-visual feast to the audience both on the spot and on the other side of the ocean. The craftsmen from Chile and Brazil brought their ceramic and wood carving arts with local characteristics, introduced locally known and popular handicrafts and cultural history, and demonstrated the same persistence of craftsmen from different countries in preserving and inheriting their traditional arts and crafts.Since 2021, State Grid Corporation of China has held the State Grid-South America Cloud Open Day event for four consecutive years, communicating traditional Chinese culture such as Beijing Opera, tea art, ceramics, etc. to its foreign employees and their families in Brazil and Chile, as well as local people and media, and conveying the good wishes of Chinese enterprises to work hand in hand with their counterparts overseas for win-win cooperation. More broadly, it aims to promote cultural and people-to-people exchanges, build a bridge of friendship with Brazil and Chile, and give a true, sound, and all-round view of China through a good corporate image.Following a “market-oriented, long-term, and localized” approach, State Grid Corporation of China has invested and participated in 13 energy network projects across 10 countries and regions. In Brazil and Chile, it has invested in and operated State Grid Brazil Holding S.A., CPFL Energia S.A., Chilquinta Energía, and Compania General de Electricidad, among other projects. Particularly, its successful investment, construction, and operation of the Phase I and Phase II Belo Monte UHV transmission project contributed a “Chinese solution” for the safe and stable power supply in Brazil. In December 2023, State Grid independently won the bid for a ±800KV UHV DC new energy power transmission project in northeast Brazil, the largest infrastructure development project in the Latin American country in recent years. At the same time, State Grid has actively participated in local public welfare activities. Its non-profit projects such as the Brazilian Malé symphony orchestra, brackish water desalination, and CPFL youth growth, have been rated as “an outstanding sustainable development project” and “the best poverty reduction project in the World” by the United Nations. All this has won the company worldwide acclaim. In the future, adhering to the Consultation, Contribution and Shared Benefits concept, State Grid Corporation of China will continuously improve the operation and management of power grids, actively participate in the investment and construction of international energy infrastructure projects, and earnestly perform social responsibility, with a view to making new progress in international energy and power cooperation. </section></article>
