He pointed out that the improvement of the quality of listed companies should ultimately be reflected in the ability of value creation and value distribution. Listed companies should continue to enhance returns to shareholders and enhance investors’ sense of gain through cash dividends, share buybacks and other means. At the same time, we should also pay more attention to the demands of other stakeholders, strive to build a better development platform for employees, create better products for customers, provide more solid performance guarantee for creditors, contribute more taxes to the country, leave a better ecological environment for the people, and achieve higher quality development in the benign interaction with society.
