Tackling overcapacity in China for cement, steel and other products- the example of Changzhi's cement factories
08/28/2015
There is huge overcapacity in the cement, steel and other industries in China. Schuman of the NYT describes the situation in the city of Changzhi, with a population of 3 million. Many of the local cement factories are running at a third of the capacity, and the government's focus on keeping workers from being unemployed to preserve social stability, makes it harder to divert capital and labor to new productive uses. There is increasing difficulty in areas away from the major cities of Shanghai and Beijing.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
