The sector is a key focus of the Chinese government’s Made in China 2025 strategy, and we are optimistic about LSI’s long-term growth potential in collaboration with local partners.”LSI has also signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“JV MOU”) with three investor parties (“Investor Parties”) for the setting up of a Joint Venture company (“JV Company”) to define the structure, ownership, and operational aspects of the Fenglin MOU.
