Coke is one of China's key chemical products. At present, China's export volume has accounted for more than half of the trade volume in the international market, and it is also one of the few chemical products with a price discourse in the international market. It stands to reason that we should vigorously develop. However, in recent years, some localities and enterprises, including Shanxi Province, have been pursuing local and short-term interests, ignoring the provisions of national industrial policies, and having done so by expanding or building new coke production facilities and blindly expanding production capacity, at the expense of environmental damage and waste of resources. The production capacity of projects already under construction has far exceeded the market demand, and has led to excess production capacity, disorderly competition, waste of resources and environmental pollution, and even caused financial risks and other social and economic hidden dangers. The "winter" of Shanxi Coking Enterprises also originated from this. At the same time, some coking enterprises under the pressure of the domestic market, competing to depress prices and increase export efforts, not only ruined the once-to-done gold market period of 400 US dollars per ton, but also greatly damaged the discourse of Chinese products in the international market. right. Under such circumstances, the state, out of its protection of resources and environment and out of the need to control the initiative of international trade, is determined to force coking enterprises to carry out structural adjustment through policy levers, which is imperative. From the National Development and Reform Commission and other 9 ministries and commissions last year, “Several Opinions on Clearing and Standardizing the Coke Industry†and “Admission Requirements for the Coking Industryâ€, this year we announced the list of coking companies that meet the entry requirements and raised the threshold of export enterprises. A series of policy measures Has clearly reflected the country's attitude: coking industry must be adjusted!
Therefore, for the 1,000 or more coking enterprises in Shanxi, which are currently in the illusion market's severe winter, they must weigh and weigh. It is necessary to look at the various policies of the country and see if it is possible to survive this winter in terms of resource utilization efficiency, environmental protection, and deep processing capability of products. Don't be as lucky as you used to be, and look forward to the state of the market in which coke can be made to make money. Instead of mournfully withdrawing with nothing, it is better to change wisely now.
For the relevant departments of the Shanxi Provincial Government, especially the local government departments, it is necessary to change the thinking that all coking enterprises must break through, implement the various rectification policies as soon as possible, and let the delisting enterprises withdraw from the market as soon as possible. Provide free space for resources, market space, and capital for standardized, upscale, and entry-level enterprises. It seems that sacrificing a group of coking enterprises will affect the government's tax revenue at one time, affect local employment, and will also affect the performance of officials. However, in the long run, in the future, it will be the normative development and market order of the local coking industry. Improvements in the local environment, such as the improvement of the great cause of the future.
Losing the Fantasy and Preparing to Adjust——Reflections on the "Winter of Winter" in Shanxi Coking Enterprises
It is a fact that the coking enterprises in Shanxi are facing a serious crisis of survival. It is also reasonable for Shanxi Coking Enterprises to break through. However, how to break through it requires good consideration. The most important thing is to look at the big picture. The value orientation revealed by the series of policies implemented by the national coking industry since the beginning of this year is very obvious. That is, the coking industry must be rectified. If the country’s macroeconomic policies are implemented effectively, the coking enterprises that can break through are certainly not all.
