Coexistence and Co-prosperity with Business Partners	We will respect our business partners and work to achieve co-existence and co-prosperity based on mutual trust from a long-term perspective. We will comply with the laws and regulations and the spirit of each country that governs our business activities and conduct fair and free transactions.
