Summary of speeches
COVID-19 has caused a serious impact on the development of China and the
world in a sudden. However, China effectively controlling the pandemic
in a relatively short period of time shows some points. One is to fully
demonstrate the core role of the leadership of the Communist Party of
China, and the other is to fully reflect the advantages of socialism
with Chinese characteristics. The third indicates that China has a
complete industrial chain for supply and basic medical facilities. And
the fourth is that it embodies the community spirit and spirit of
struggle of the people which were worthy of praise.
Looking at the economic operation status of the coking industry in the
first half of 2020, COVID-19 only had a greater impact on production in
the first quarter, and has gradually returned to normal levels in the
second quarter. Due to the effective adjustment of supply and demand,
the operating profit of coking enterprises has also improved. This
prosperous trend is hard-won and should be maintained. Judging by the
goals and tasks set for national economic development this year, as well
as the development trend of the global economy and trade, the output of
the coal, coke and steel industry for the whole year will be flat or
slightly reduced, and enterprise profit will be lower than that in the
previous year. |
