Rapid growth in China's coal imports

In recent years, the rapid growth in China's coal imports.According to customs statistics, in 2011 China imported 180 million metric tons of coal, 290 million tons in 2012.Industry experts predict that China's coal imports in 2013 and will reach 320 million tons.
At the same time,a105 industry standard welding neck flange China's coal demand growth is on the decline.China coal industry association, director of the economic YunHangBu Wang Zhanjun predicts that China's coal consumption growth in 2014 at about 3%, a sharp decline in consumer demand growth will inevitably lead to coal KuiSunMian excess production capacity, prices, enterprises to expand.

High-end projects focused on

Steel mills are aimed at high-end products, the reality of the economic downturn and the high-end product demand is not prosperous, eventually high-end steel can only sell a low price.In recent years, the steel industry high capacity in explosive growth. According to introducing,A106b steel tube large diameter ERW steel pipe before the implementation of "the iron and steel industry development policy" in 2004, the national board only 19 sets of mill, 2012 up to 86 sets, capacity utilization rate fell to 59% from 80%, the supply and demand relationship.

According to analysis, in order to "aristocratic" in the steel plate, for example, large steel enterprise flourished in recent years a large number of production capacity,SCH80 ERW Steel Pipe because the product specificity is stronger, the market demand is limited, cause serious excess capacity.At the same time, having been in short supply and high added value of hot rolled plate volume, as the change of supply and demand, is now retired.

Hebei a large iron and steel enterprises, officials say, a few years ago by the transformation and upgrading of climate impact, some steel mills produce high value-added products, only above grade wood, but in the high-end product demand is limited, can not achieve economies of scale. Under the prospect of the overall market demand is weak,schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe have to low noble head, and small and medium-sized steel mills take grade wood job, leading to serious homogeneity competition. Downstream users saw the situation is, with a tender and the price drop down again.

After the transformation and upgrading of industry have not been able to get rid of excess capacity, still on the verge of loss. According to the China iron and steel association, according to data from this year, iron and steel industry as a whole difficult operation. From January to July, the country's crude steel production growth of 7.1% year on year,Carbon Steel butt-welding equal tee compared with only 2.1% increase over the same period of last year, the industry average profit rate is only 0.23%.

Some large state-owned iron and steel enterprises in the economic information daily, reporter interview, mainly due to the excess steel production capacity of private steel enterprises production capacity greatly increased. They point out that private accounts for only 7.7% of the national steel production in 2000, after 10 years of development, up to 48.4% in 2012, private steel capacity increment accounted for the major share of the existing steel overcapacity, the entire steel industry concentration rise but not fall.
The above situation does exist. A weekly meeting for staff drum strength son a private steel mills in hebei boss said, the last August, steel mills lost $1, but considering the stability, he won't be cut sharply.

Dissolve excess capacity may choose to China

Success of landing the nyse, from 2005 to 2008 had become the world's largest silicon components manufacturer, suntech power use three years time. And then in less than five years,cold drawn carbon steel pipe its suntech because of capital chain rupture in the filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year. Once solar empire collapsed.The solar industry is the epitome of excess capacity in China. Under the background of continued weakness in domestic and international market demand, China's iron and steel, cement, electrolytic aluminium, flat glass, ship industry such as accumulation of excess capacity has sparked concern increasingly.

Data show that at the end of last year,3D eblow Carbon Steel pipe fittings China's iron and steel and other industries with excess capacity utilization on average around 75%, significantly lower than the international usual. In the first half of this year, the national industrial enterprises above designated size nearly 22% of the unused capacity.Some of these excess industry into loss mire, some can only earn a small profit. Had the image of the iron and steel industry the situation described in the first half of this year's profit: sell a ton of profits is not enough to buy a Popsicle.

The national development and reform commission,45 degree short radius pipe fitting elbows the academic committee secretary general Zhang Yansheng blame China for the past few years this round of excess capacity to excessive investment and foreign trade. This led to a major equipment industry, traditional labor-intensive export industry, strategic emerging industry presents the bubble growth, rising global demand, domestic costs and other factors, such as Europe and the United States withdrew, formed a huge spare capacity.

"China over the past decade to form foam capacity pressure is very big,high-frequency ERW carbon steel tube it is difficult to through any kind of stimulus to settle." Zhang Yansheng said.Sino-euro lujiazui international financial institute executive vice dean Liu Shengjun pointed out that lead to high investment is one of the most important factor is the distortion of the price of factors of production. "China's labor costs, environmental resources price, land price, the price of capital to a great extent, are distorted. Companies able to get cheap factors of production, will, of course, the big investment." He said.

In the context of China's economic growth is sluggish, dissolve excess capacity to become one of the government to solve the problem. Premier li keqiang said many times this year, to resolutely curb severe overcapacity blind expansion of the industry.

Chinese zheng xinli, vice executive director of the center for international economic exchanges, high-level thinking is through the "four of a batch of" eliminate the contradiction between last for years. Through expanding domestic demand to digest a batch, the implementation of the strategy of "going out" to transfer a batch, overseas mergers and reorganization to integrate a batch of, access to an unspecified number of strict environment protection, etc.

Released in July following the first batch of ironmaking, steelmaking, papermaking, cement and other industries backward production capacity after the list of companies, the ministry of industry and information technology again in early September list released the second batch of enterprises, involving 67 companies across the country. But the ministry minister MiaoWei acknowledged that new capacity far greater than the speed of the backward production capacity speed.

Published monthly worst air quality in ten cities

"The ten countries' requirements on environmental information disclosure.Published by the state per month 10 cities with the worst air quality and the best cold drawn carbon steel pipe list of 10 cities.

Provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) the administration of the mainland will be announced at the level and above the urban air quality ranking.Ground level and above cities in local primary media release air quality monitoring information in a timely manner.

The environmental protection departments at various levels and enterprises should take the initiative to open a new project environmental impact assessment, pollutant emission and pollution treatment facilities operation environment information,Long Radius 90 Deg carbon seamless elbow accept social supervision.Involving the interests of the construction project, should be fully listening to public opinion. Establish the enterprise environmental information mandatory public system of heavy pollution industry.

Wang Jian said that the reason for air quality, the purpose is to supervise the local government, "the old came in last, the mayor of your own choice." He said, at present a lot of pressure in hebei province, but the power of air pollution now is very big also.

Public and environmental affairs, said ma jun, director of the center: at present the country published in 74 cities air pollution or inaccurate, such as PM2.5 monitoring stations in lower-tier cities,hemispherical pipe cap manufacturer in china there is no. In the second - and third-tier cities monitoring PM2.5 can better promote governance atmosphere.

Ma jun said that air quality for city ranking is more comparable. Environmental protection every month in 74 cities ranked only horizontal comparison, this does not necessarily have a comparable, such as different geographical location, climate,mill test certificate steel pipe ASTM A53/A106 tube basic conditions and personal behavior, will lead to air quality difference is bigger. But if, in the same area in hebei province, for example, the longitudinal comparison of different cities before more comparable, because external conditions, geographical location, such as the contrast can be more clearly, what cities do good or bad.

Method to control excess production capacity will be introduced

China's deputy minister of industry and information technology, Mr. Su said cangzhou on the 15th, 1/2"-48" ERW carbon steel pipe ASTM A106/A53 the state council on the management scheme of excess production capacity will come on stage, sharply reduce administrative intervention, regulate market access will be the policy window.On the same day they are in at the annual meeting of the fifth China manufacturing in cangzhou, Mr. Su, points out that administrative examination and approval can not solve the problem of industry development, also can't solve the problem of excess production capacity. To some extent, it is part of the local governments on investment promotion and capital introduction, in the aspect of land and resources allocation for excessive preferential policies, the market order and unfair competition, exacerbating the excess capacity.

Overcapacity is one of China's economic problems. In recent years, China has increased the strength of the backward production capacity, Welding Socket Weld slip on flange but the new capacity is greater than the speed of the eliminated backward production capacity speed, to "the governance of the excess" awkward situation.Experts pointed out that China got into the overcapacity cycle, by the government's excessive intervention to the enterprise economic behavior, part of the industrial policy, affecting the normal enterprise investment decision.

It is understood that in 2012 China's electrolytic aluminium production capacity of about 28 million tons, Hot Pushed A234 Wpb Black Pipe Fitting elbow but after authorized by the administrative departments of only more than 400 ten thousand tons of production capacity.Mr. Su said that the future will further reduce the government for iron and steel, electrolytic aluminum, flat glass, cement and shipbuilding and so on five big industries with excess capacity of administrative intervention, and reduced the administrative examination and approval matters.

At the same time, will also strengthen market management, establish the public fair competition environment. On the one hand, Seamless tube used in steam pipe reduce the excessive government investment activities of enterprises, reduce the unfair competition. On the other hand, based on market access conditions, required local large capacity of existing without examination and approval of standardization management.

Economic research department minister of industry under the state council development research center, Mr. Feng pointed out that market dissolve excess capacity, does not mean that the government should completely quit. The government should use standards, technical regulations to regulate industry, strengthen environmental protection, energy consumption, safety and product quality of social regulation and process control. At the same time, when it makes policy to solicit opinions from all sides, innovative approach.

Iron total frequent issuance of the west

On August 26, the national development and reform commission issued the 2012 western development progress of the work and work arrangement in 2013, the file will work infrastructure construction as the development of the western region this year.Put forward the carbon steel seamless A106 steel pipe above documents, should be "pays special attention to an railway second double, chengdu-chongqing expressway passenger dedicated, jingguang railway, YunGui railway and other major projects under construction, promoting interregional contact between channels, network development new line and revamping/expansion of existing lines in previous work."

Chinese academy of engineering, wang said his company's lanzhou to chongqing China railway tunnel cooperated-builing railway current construction progress is accelerated, recently, the state council carbon steel seamless eccentric reducer premier li keqiang inspected in the west also particularly to condolences to see a line on the railway construction site personnel.To the attention of the railway construction in the Midwest, in fact, as early as June li listen to China railway corporation (hereinafter referred to as the 4 inch SCH40 Seamless steel pipe total iron) work report made it clear when, in July, the state council executive meeting, li reiterated this view, and put forward from the aspects of investment and financing system reform of railway construction to use new ideas and methods to raise funds.

Beijing yue Jin Yongxiang consulting company general manager believes that the west is a blank area of infrastructure investment, a new round of steady growth, increasing investment measures, only from the western focus on, but you need to alert to the western region low return on infrastructure projects, the low utilization rate, how to attract private capital to participate in is a difficulty.

The total iron to quicken the pace of the financing and investment has been obviously paced up. On August 27, total iron will issue since this year the third phase of the railway construction bonds, the amount is 20 billion yuan, and just last month 24 and 14 this month, the total iron has just released the 20 billion railway debt. So often bond strength, very rare.To raise funds by the issuance of USES, railway is one of the important point in the Midwest. 2013 prospectus of the third phase of the railway construction bonds, said the money will be used in lanzhou to chongqing railway, an railway second double, jingguang railway, YunGui railway, the railway central and southern shanxi, datong railway to xi 'an railway and so on more than the Midwest.

In the arrangement of the newly built railway line this year, the central and western railway also received a "special care". A person close to the total iron, iron the total construction of chongqing in August to guiyang railway expansion project, at the same time, this year, total iron will get into your railway leshan to guiyang period of construction preparation, the year starts in an all-round way. In addition, the iron will always fight for railway stake to central China coal transport channels in the start of the year. The railway estimation investment of 159.82 billion yuan, is a investment in recent years, one of the few super billions of freight railroads.

Strife-torn coal industry

On August 21, the national energy administration held a national symposium of coal economy, face the difficulties and problems of coal enterprises, to discuss the service industry sch80 galvanized carbon steel pipe development policy measures. , shaanxi, China coal, shenhua coal, yankuang, head of the main enterprises to participate in the discussion.

Participants told reporters that the coal enterprise big trouble at the meeting, called for clean coal tax burden, 3D eblow Carbon Steel pipe fittings restricted imports of inferior coal, reduce excess capacity, establish long-term coordination mechanism of coal.

At present, the domestic economy downward, atmospheric pollution control policy influence, such as coal market demand slows, slack season, prices continue to fall, the stock soared, cause the decline of the coal enterprise's operating performance. Coupled with the impact of coal carbon steel threaded connections tee imports, excess production capacity, water and electricity secondary effects, the coal industry into "strife-torn" position.

The latest issue of the bohai sea thermal coal price index showed that the average 5500 calories of thermal coal price closed at 553 yuan/ton, dropped 6 yuan/ton. Since June, prices decline for 60 yuan/ton. Some port traders even at a lower price for the goods, in order to reduce more losses.Depression of coal for resource provinces is a heavy blow. In henan province, the government take the lead in a "mutual insurance" of coal measures after the rescue, shanxi, shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and other source sites successively joined the rescue, hope both coal and electricity to spend, mutual understanding, mutual support, encourage power plants increase the proportion of local coal procurement.

Prop up the market of grain purchase malpractice

Recently, prop up the market of grain purchase policy reform cause high attention. Led by the national development and reform commission, the relevant departments are studying food policy acquisition policy reform, the state council development research center, Q235 seamless carbon steel pipe Chinese academy of social sciences, the ministry of agriculture, rural economy research center have decision-making consultation institutions, such as experts and scholars to the northeast, henan, sichuan, hubei and other places as grain purchase policy carry out special investigation.

"Eople grain purchase issue is very outstanding, must need to change." Chinese academy of social sciences researcher at the institute of rural development Li Guoxiang preparation in heilongjiang was Long Radius 90 Deg carbon seamless elbow autumn grain purchase policy research, he told the economic information daily (weibo) a reporter, now the parties are talking about the adjustment of grain purchase policy, although the country has not set the tone, but the direction should be toward the market return, better play the basic role of the market, both to protect the interests of the farmers and reduce the intervention of the market.

It is understood that prop up the market of grain purchase including the minimum purchase price policy of wheat and rice, corn, soybean, rapeseed reserve policy. When the market prices are low, at 180 degree elbow pipe fitting asme b16.9 steel elbow start-up support by the state to protect farmers' interests and enthusiasm grain. In recent years, prop up the market purchase prices continue to improve, also exposed many malpractices.

Ma wenfeng, an analyst at Orient agribusiness consultancy told reporters, the "economic information daily, support the market to buy one of the biggest problems is to distort the market price, prop up the market price continued to make price inelastic, into a large number of domestic and imported from abroad and a large number of collection and storage of" circle ".

The Chinese academy of agricultural sciences' institute of agricultural economy and development Qin Fu believes that the minimum grain purchase prices stable, indeed to arouse the enthusiasm of agricultural producers, such as raising farmers' income is of great importance. But overall, our country implements the lowest price to buy the main grain varieties, and its price is higher than the average price in the international market trends, and soybeans near store price is much higher than the average price in the international market.
