At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on the morning of the 22nd, it was revealed that the State Council issued the "Decision on Issuing the Interim Provisions for Promoting Industrial Structure Adjustment" and the "Guiding Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustment" on December 7. These new policies aim to regulate and restrict industries with overcapacity—such as coking, calcium carbide, and others—using economic, legal, and administrative measures. Additionally, they call for the strict elimination of outdated production facilities, including small-scale oil refining, coking, small sulfuric acid plants, and tire manufacturing lines.
The policy outlines three categories of industries: encouraged, restricted, and eliminated. Among the industries promoted are 27 chemical sectors, such as resource-saving and environmentally friendly nitrogen fertilizers, specialty fine chemicals, membrane materials, fluorinated products, composite materials, and alcohol-ether fuels. On the other hand, certain outdated petrochemical and chemical projects have been marked for elimination, including diesel production facilities with a capacity of less than 1 million tons per year, pyrite sulfuric acid plants producing under 44,000 tons annually, tire production lines using natural cotton cord fabric with a capacity of 500,000 units or fewer, and yellow phosphorus production lines below 1,000 tons per year. Other eliminated projects include earth refining, mercury caustic soda production, graphite anode membrane caustic soda, calcium carbide furnaces with a capacity below 5,000 kVA (or 10,000 tons per year), open-type calcium carbide furnaces, and soil coking (including modified coke ovens).
According to recent reports, since the start of this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has focused on addressing overcapacity in nine key industries. It noted that overcapacity is particularly severe in ferroalloy, coking, calcium carbide, automotive, and copper smelting sectors. The coking industry alone has a production capacity exceeding 100 million tons, with an additional 30 million tons under construction or planned. The calcium carbide sector has a total capacity of 16 million tons, but nearly half remains idle. These overcapacity industries are now classified as restricted under national policy.
Industrial restructuring, especially targeting overcapacity sectors, will become a major focus for China’s economic development in the coming years. The new regulations also prohibit investment in projects listed in the phase-out category. Illegal enterprises will be ordered to halt operations or shut down, according to existing laws. The administrative department for industry and commerce must ensure these companies update their registration or cancel it legally. Environmental protection authorities will revoke their pollution discharge permits, and power companies are required to cut off electricity supply. Those who violate the rules will face disciplinary actions against responsible individuals and leaders.
