Why Are the Three Northeastern Provinces Still Developing Industries with Strictly Restricted Overcapacity?
Recent reports reveal that multiple illegal projects are under construction in the three northeastern provinces, all in the cement sector of the building materials industry. The specific illegal projects are: two in Jilin Province—one is Guangli Special Cement Co., Ltd.'s 4,000 t/d clinker production line under construction, and the other is Dongsheng Cement Company's 4,000 t/d cement clinker expansion project in Jiangyuan District, Baishan City, Jilin Province, also under construction. Neither project has an environmental impact assessment from the Jilin Provincial Department of Environmental Protection nor approval documents from the National Development and Reform Commission. One in Liaoning Province: the second 4,000 t/d clinker line of Liaoyang Tianrui Cement Co., Ltd., which has neither the approval document from the Liaoning Provincial Development and Reform Commission nor the approval from the National Development and Reform Commission. One in Heilongjiang Province: the Jidong Cement 'giant' project, which has also not obtained formal approval from the National Development and Reform Commission. Currently, the project is facing resistance due to joint opposition from local peers in the same industry.
