Hey there! Have you ever wondered how steel is made? π§ Let’s take a journey to the Chinese mainland’s northeast region, where an amazing transformation is happening!
Bensteel Group, founded way back in 1905, is one of Chinaβs oldest steel factories. Imagine a giant workshop where hot metal is turned into the steel used for cars, buildings, and even robots! π€
But wait, it gets better! In 2021, Bensteel teamed up with another big company called Ansteel. Together, they turned Bensteel from an old-fashioned factory into a super smart one! Now, they use cool technology to make steel in a way that’s better for the environment and super efficient. π³βοΈ
Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Bensteel and was really excited about the changes. He said that making things like steel is super important for the country. He also encouraged factories to be high-end (that means really good quality), intelligent (using smart tech), and green (kind to our planet)! π
But why is this so important? Well, the Chinese mainland wants to make sure that its factories are the best they can be. During the 13th Five-Year Plan (that’s like a big to-do list that lasts five years), they worked hard to improve things. They made factories cleaner, smarter, and better at working with other countries.
By 2025, they hope to be even better! Bensteel is leading the way by making special steel plates for cars and having over 7,500 different products! ππ§
President Xi also talked about how important it is for the northeast region to keep inventing and improving. He wants new ideas from science and technology to mix with industries so they can make awesome new products.
Another company, ShenGu Group in Shenyang, is also upgrading. They’ve turned their old workshops into intelligent ones where computers help control everything. Cool, right? π»π
All these changes are helping the northeast region of China to become stronger and more modern. By focusing on reform (that’s changing things for the better) and opening up, they’re building a brighter future!
Isn’t it amazing how factories can change and become smarter? Maybe one day you’ll invent something that helps the world too! π
