Supply-side reform set to safeguard future

The government is restructuring the industrial sector to lower costs and promote efficiency, as Zhong Nan, Ren Xiaojin and Jing Shuiyu report.

When the 23 kilometer main section of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge was completed in July and rose above the waters of the ocean to connect the three cities, the new form of steel used in its construction was hailed as a prime example of China's continuing development in the field of materials science and manufacturing.

The bridge, which has a full span of 55 km and is the longest of its kind in the world, is a great advertisement for the duplex stainless steel developed by Taiyuan Iron and Steel, which was being used for the first time.
