Survive and Thrive: Clothes Magnate Marjorie Yang's Way

At No. 2 Wukang Road in Shanghai, CGTN's Tian Wei caught up with Marjorie Yang, the chair of the Esquel Group, in her family's historic courtyard. From silk to cotton, her family has woven a legacy of tradition and transformation. When asked about rising tariff tensions, she said: "If the US could use its technology and management to achieve more inclusive growth, it wouldn't have the anger that drives the government to look for an outside enemy." Years ago, Esquel was blacklisted for using Xinjiang cotton. Decades-long clients vanished overnight. She asked, "What else can we do?" Her philosophy: "When shot by a poisoned arrow, you go and get help." That's the story of Yang, a shirt, a woman, a family history, and an inspiring story of how the Chinese are turning challenges into opportunities for their businesses, toward a better future for many.
