Forced Labor and Calls for Rational and Responsible Dialogue</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left"></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left"><BR>
Shanghai, China, January 15, 2021 -- Daqo New Energy Corp. (NYSE: DQ) (&quot;Daqo New Energy&quot;, the &quot;Company&quot; or
 &ldquo;we&rdquo;), a leading manufacturer of high-purity polysilicon for the global solar PV industry, today addressed comments
in recent third-party research reports and related news media about its exposure to risks relating to forced labor.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">Daqo New Energy wishes to reiterate that it
has a zero-tolerance policy towards forced labor in its own facilities and across its supply chain.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">Polysilicon manufacturing is a complicated
chemical process which is highly automated, digitalized and technology-intensive. It requires highly trained personnel for its
production lines and is not labor-intensive. The Company considers the idea of employing &ldquo;forced labor&rdquo; or &ldquo;prison
labor&rdquo; as not only morally abhorrent but also wholly inconsistent with its goals to be successful in terms of safety, efficiency
and costs. We believe that solar professionals and anyone in the United States or elsewhere who has basic understanding and common
sense of the polysilicon industry will likely share this view.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left">We locate our production facilities in Xinjiang
in order to be close to sources of raw materials and energy for polysilicon production. We have built a world-class polysilicon
facility in Xinjiang to better serve the fast growing solar PV industry which is one of the foundational industries necessary to
reduce the global carbon footprint. We call for rational and responsible dialogue across the global solar PV industry. We welcome
more international collaboration and healthy competition. We need to work together to combat climate change and elevate the prosperity
and social welfare of the communities in which our facilities are based and elsewhere around the globe.</P>
