Mao Weiming, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said on the 18th that in 2014, China's work to resolve overcapacity will strictly control the increase of production capacity in accordance with stricter standards, and improve the technical level of existing enterprises, increase scientific and technological content, and improve competitiveness in accordance with the principle of open, fair and just market.

Mao Weiming said at the press conference on the development of the industrial communication industry in 2013 held by the State Council Information Office that before 2017, China will no longer add any new production capacity to the five major industries of steel, cement, electrolytic aluminum, flat glass and shipbuilding, and at the same time, the illegal projects under construction will be gradually cleaned up.

Mao Weiming said that the original industrial route and capacity standards have basically completed the historical task in recent years. On this basis, China will implement stricter standards for environmental protection, energy consumption, and safety implementation, and increase penalties for violations. In addition, China will accelerate the implementation of mergers and reorganization, support advantageous enterprises to merge and eliminate backward production capacity, increase industrial concentration, and accelerate advantageous industries, advantageous enterprises and outstanding entrepreneurs to play a greater role in market allocation and resource decisiveness.

It is understood that the backward production lines of 19 industries listed in the 2013 announcement have been shut down. Last year, China's industrial investment in technological transformation was 7.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 18.1% over the previous year, accounting for 43% of industrial investment. The energy-saving technology transformation and the action of energy efficiency compliance in key industries have been steadily advanced, and the annual goal of reducing the energy consumption of industrial units above designated size by 5%, and the water consumption of 10,000 yuan of industrial added value has decreased by 5.6%.
