Jiangsu Jinfangyuan manufactures machine tools for sheet metal processing, and is said to be the Chinese market leader for punching and bending machines. The company, which is based in Yangzhou, was privatized in 1997 and currently employs about 700 people. Sales reached about 70 million euros ($94.7 million) last year.

The eastern city of Yangzhou, near Nanjing, was the latest local government to order residents to stay home after large-scale testing detected 40 new infections over the past day. The more than 1.3 million residents of Yangzhou's urban core are now confined to their homes, with each household allowed to send only one person outside per day to shop for necessities, the city government said Tuesday.

Jiang died of leukemia and multiple organ failure, Xinhua added. The politician, who was born in the eastern town of Yangzhou in 1926, was appointed secretary-general of the CCP in 1989.
