Chung Eun-tae, president of SK Hynix (China), was given the "Jiangsu Friendship Award" by the Jiangsu Provincial People's Government in Nanjing on Oct 28.

According to officials, a total of 20 foreign experts living and working in Jiangsu from 13 foreign countries received the award this year. Chung was the only foreign expert in Wuxi to win the honorary title this time.

Chung worked hard to increase capital and production of South-Korea-based SK Hynix in its Chinese branch in Wuxi National Hi-tech District. Projects such as the construction of the Sino-Korea Integrated Circuit Industrial Park are under smooth operation in WND.

SK Hynix Semiconductor (China) Co, built in WND in 2015, has become a foreign-invested enterprise with the largest single investment scale, the highest technological level, and the fastest growing speed in Jiangsu province. It has also become a successful model of South Korean high-tech enterprises' investment and cooperation in China.

Jiangsu Friendship Award, established in 1997, is the highest award for foreign experts given by the provincial government. The award was set up to commend foreign experts who have made outstanding contributions to Jiangsu's economic construction and social development, and promote exchanges and cooperation between China and foreign countries in economy, science and technology, culture, education, health and so on.
