From the implementation of reform and opening up, to joining the WTO, proposing the "Belt and Road" initiative, building a dual-cycle pattern, and establishing a dual-carbon goal, all of these are based on our party's profound insight into the trend of the times, and are the results of conforming to the general trend of world development. Reviewing the development of China's aluminum industry is also based on the analysis of the general trend of the world, the judgment of China's economic situation, and the assessment of the surrounding environment.
China is the only country in the world that has all the industrial categories listed in the United Nations Industrial Classification. It has become the second largest economy in the world and is increasingly moving towards the center of the world stage. In this process, China's aluminum industry has also built a complete and controllable industrial chain and supply chain, and has become the world's most dynamic and largest aluminum industry gathering place. By the end of 2021, the asset scale of China's aluminum industry has approached 2 trillion yuan, more than 3,200 regulated enterprises, more than one million employees, annual profits and taxes exceeding 100 billion yuan, more than 100 related industries, and more than 200 exporting countries and regions. It has well supported and satisfied the development of the national economy and people's living needs.
"Hundred-footed" means "going further". China's aluminum industry has always been unswervingly doing its own thing, responding to various risks and challenges calmly, focusing on promoting development quality to a higher level, telling China's story with "ingenuity", and building an aluminum industry system with Chinese characteristics. The security and stability of the global aluminum industry chain and supply chain contribute to China's strength.
High-level empowerment of economic development
China is one of the few major countries in the aluminum industry with a complete industrial chain, perfect supporting system and guaranteed supply. From smelting to processing, the level of technical equipment is world-leading. The 600kA large aluminum electrolytic cell is the first in the world; the single-line scale of 1.2 million tons of alumina is the largest in the world; the processing equipment can be called the global "showroom", and the domestic equipment is also rapidly following up. From clothing, food, housing and transportation to nine days to look at the moon, with a complete range of products and excellent product quality, it has well met and supported the needs of the people and the national strategy.
High station planning a new pattern of double circulation
The development path of China's aluminum industry coincides with the development strategy proposed by the country to simultaneously build a domestic cycle and a domestic and international dual cycle. For a long time, the aluminum industry has always been based on the internal circulation, committed to ensuring supply and stable prices, supporting employment and people's livelihood, and meeting the internal needs of economic development; actively integrating into the external circulation, giving full play to the comparative advantages of the two resources in the two markets, and enhancing competitiveness and influence. , to achieve the purpose of promoting internal and external.
After years of development, China's aluminum industry has formed a development pattern that conforms to the country's resource endowments, energy costs, demand structure, and trade policies. That is, upstream bauxite and alumina are net imported, midstream electrolytic aluminum is based on meeting domestic demand, and downstream aluminum and products are appropriate. Net exports. Economically, the assets, revenue and benefits of the aluminum industry chain have risen. The total profit in 2021 will exceed 150 billion yuan, and in the first quarter of 2022, it will exceed 30 billion yuan; in terms of trade, the important position of China's aluminum industry in the global industrial chain has been strengthened. , the foreign trade volume of aluminum products in 2021 will be 53.8 billion US dollars, and the first quarter of 2022 will be 15.1 billion US dollars, of which export foreign exchange earnings will reach 34.9 billion US dollars and 10.2 billion US dollars respectively; strategically, it has built an industrial pattern that complements and complements each other. The continuous increase in the influence of Chinese aluminum enterprises in the global industrial chain and supply chain is the greatest confidence and confidence for us to move from a big country in the aluminum industry to a strong country in the aluminum industry.
