Building the Belt and Road： How can China’s central enterprises achieve a win-win situation？
The second "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum will be held in Beijing from April 25 to 27, with the theme of "jointly building the Belt and Road" and creating a better future.
The Belt and Road Initiative originated in China, and the opportunities and achievements belong to the world!
From 2013 to 2018, China enterprises directly invested more than 90 billion US dollars in countries along the route, and the turnover of foreign contracted projects in countries along the route exceeded 400 billion US dollars.
Central enterprises adhere to the Silk Road spirit of peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit, and strive to build the Belt and Road into a road of peace, prosperity, openness, green, innovation and civilization! Especially in the past two years, with the active participation of central enterprises, a number of cooperation in infrastructure fields such as transportation, energy and water resources have been promoted and implemented.
Xiaoxin summed up eight sentences when central enterprises participated in the construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative — —
Industrial Park: Building a Platform for Common Development
National business card: leading the international standard of the industry
Oil and gas cooperation: increasing the kinetic energy of economic growth
Scenery and fire: empowering partners to win together
Bridges and roads: promoting the interconnection of facilities
Airport and Port: Building an International Circulation Hub
Urban construction: building a landmark for a better life
People’s livelihood service: practicing the social responsibility of central enterprises
The Belt and Road Initiative is the largest economic platform for international cooperation provided by China to the whole world. While realizing their own development, central enterprises are also providing perfect infrastructure construction and economic and trade cooperation platforms for enterprises all over the world.
A typical case is Zhongbai Industrial Park.
Developed and operated by two central enterprises, China Merchants Group and SINOMACH, it is China’s largest overseas development area and the highest level of cooperation. With the joint efforts of China and Belarus, the park has become a landmark project of the Belt and Road Initiative. The total planned area of the park is 112.5 square kilometers. As of February 2019, the total number of enterprises entering the park has reached 43, with a total agreed investment of nearly 1.1 billion US dollars.
China Merchants Group has planned and constructed Djibouti Free Trade Zone.
Copy the domestic PPC comprehensive development model of "Qiangang-Central District-Houcheng", develop and build ports (DMP Wharf), parks (Djibouti International Free Trade Zone) and cities (commercial transformation of old port areas) in Djibouti, build a platform for China products, industries and services to "go global" and provide all-round support and services for China enterprises to "go global". At present, 40 Chinese and foreign enterprises have settled in the park, and more than 20 enterprises are registering their companies in the free trade zone.
China’s nuclear power and UHV are well-deserved "national business cards". In the past five years, this clean, high-energy and beautiful business card has been distributed all over the world, sending a steady stream of energy to countries and people along the "Belt and Road".
British nuclear power project
On September 29th, 2016, CGNPC signed a package agreement with the governments of electricite de france and the United Kingdom for new nuclear power projects in the UK, in which the Bradville B project will use the third-generation nuclear power technology Hualong No.1 with independent intellectual property rights in China. This is China’s largest investment project in Britain and Europe, and it is also the first time that Chinese enterprises have led the development and construction of nuclear power projects in western developed countries. It has been evaluated by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader as the flagship project to open the "golden age" between China and Britain, and will achieve a breakthrough in the export of China’s independent nuclear power technology to western developed countries.
Hualong No.1 also settled in Pakistan.
The K-2/K-3 nuclear power project in Karachi, Pakistan, undertaken by CNNC, is building two third-generation nuclear power technologies with independent intellectual property rights in China — — "Hualong No.1" reactor nuclear power unit. Quality is the life of a nuclear power plant. By the end of September, 2018, the quality control point of Jian ‘an construction witnessed a pass rate of 98%, far higher than the set target of 90%.
In terms of UHV and power grid construction
State Grid has actively promoted cross-border networking and interconnection, and built 10 cross-border transmission lines, including China, Russia, China, Mongolia and China-Kyrgyzstan, with a cumulative trading power of over 27 billion kWh. Vigorously invest and operate overseas infrastructure, and successfully invest and operate backbone energy grid companies in seven countries and regions, including the Philippines, Brazil, Portugal, Australia, Italy, Greece and Hong Kong, with an overseas investment of US$ 21 billion and total assets under management exceeding US$ 65.5 billion.
At present, the State Grid has completed major power grid projects such as the 800 kV HVDC transmission project of Brazil’s Meilishan Hydropower Station, the upgrade transmission project of Egypt’s EETC500 kV national backbone network, the 500 kV transmission and transformation project of Ethiopia’s GDHA, and the 500 kV DC interconnection project of Ethiopia and Kenya.
More importantly, we actively participated in the formulation of international standards, took the lead in establishing a complete technical standard system for UHV AC/DC and smart grid in the world, and took the lead in standards. In the future, more countries and people in the world will use the original UHV in China!
Oil and gas cooperation, increase the kinetic energy of economic growth
Oil and gas cooperation is an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative. Central enterprises’ oil and gas cooperation with foreign countries plays an important role in promoting the optimization of energy resources between countries and regions, providing sufficient power for China’s economy and promoting the common development of countries along the route.
China+Russian
Yamal Project is the first mega-energy cooperation project implemented in China after the "Belt and Road Initiative" was put forward, and China Petroleum participated in the joint development. This project is the largest LNG project in the Arctic region in the world at present, and it is known as "an energy pearl embedded in the Arctic Circle". On July 19th, 2018, the first ship of liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplied by Yamal LNG Project to China was delivered to Rudong LNG receiving station in Jiangsu under China Petroleum via the northeast Arctic waterway, and delivered to China Petroleum, which opened a new chapter for Yamal LNG Project to supply to China and brought a new gas source for clean energy supply in China.

The operation period of the project is 30 years, and the designed annual transportation capacity is 22 million tons. On April 10th, 2017, the China-Myanmar crude oil pipeline project was officially put into operation and entered China from Ruili, Yunnan.
China+Middle East
China Petrochemical Company is the largest oil refining company and the second largest chemical company in the world. In the Middle East, China Petrochemical and Saudi National Oil Company jointly established Yanbu China Petrochemical Ami Refinery Co., Ltd., which is a fuel refinery with a daily processing capacity of 400,000 barrels of Saudi heavy crude oil and China’s largest investment project in Saudi Arabia. On January 20th, 2016, the Supreme Leader of president, China and King Salman of Saudi Arabia attended the launching ceremony of the project. In 2018, the total amount of taxes (income tax, withholding tax, etc.) paid by the project to the Saudi government was nearly 57 million US dollars. At present, the joint venture company has more than 1,100 Saudi employees, accounting for 86% of the total number of employees, which is one of the enterprises with the highest proportion of Saudi employees in local enterprises.
China Petrochemical participated in the construction of a new refinery project in azur, Kuwait, which improved Kuwait’s refining capacity, reduced local environmental pressure, promoted local employment and promoted the development of local manufacturing industry in Kuwait. Upon completion, it will become the largest oil refinery in the Middle East.
The premise of economic development is sufficient energy supply. China enterprises give full play to their technological advantages, help countries along the Belt and Road to establish hydropower, thermal power and wind power projects, and empower the Belt and Road!

China’s hydropower, thermal power, wind power and photovoltaic are all over the world, making "China Infrastructure" a popular "source of power" for all countries.
Roads and Bridges: Promoting the Interconnection of Facilities
"Roads are accessible, and all industries are thriving", and the connectivity of transportation facilities is the basis for cooperative development. Transportation shoulders the heavy responsibility of "pioneering" and plays a leading role. Central enterprises focus on key passages, key cities and key projects, connect transportation networks, and push facilities interconnection to a new level.
China’s roads and bridges are mostly "first" and "records".
Moscow Metro in Russia — — China built the subway in Europe for the first time.
Russian enterprises entered the European market for the first time in this field, and led the entire industrial chain of Russian equipment, China technology, China design and China standard to break into Europe successfully, which was praised as "a new landmark of Sino-Russian friendship".

China Merchants invested in the wharf in 2009, with a coastline of 1,200 meters and an annual designed handling capacity of 2.4 million TEUs. At present, the annual profit of the terminal exceeds 50 million dollars.
Under the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, the overseas infrastructure forces of central enterprises have gone deep into cooperative countries and played an important role in the urban construction of the host countries. In the future, we will see a series of new urban landmarks built by central enterprises along the "Belt and Road".
We participated in the construction of the new capital of Egypt.
The new capital project of Egypt, in which China Architecture participates, is the number one key project currently being implemented by the Egyptian government. Upon completion, the new capital will become the new political center and financial center of Egypt. Among them, the highest point of the tower crown, the symbol of the central business district of Egypt’s new capital, is 385.8 meters, making it "the tallest building in Africa".
The main stadium in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will also be "made in China".
In 2015, China Railway Construction successfully won the bid for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 main stadium Lusel Stadium project. Lussel Stadium will be one of the venues where FIFA will hold the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 match in 2022, and it will be the main stadium for the opening ceremony, final and closing ceremony. The successful bid for the Lucerne Stadium project has further expanded the influence of China enterprises in the Middle East market and enhanced the international popularity of China brand. Who said that there was no China team in the World Cup?
Serving people’s livelihood: practicing the social responsibility of central enterprises
The connection between people’s hearts is the social foundation and public opinion guarantee of the "Belt and Road" construction, and improving people’s livelihood is the key to doing a good job of connecting people’s hearts. Based on social responsibility, central enterprises have implemented a lot of livelihood projects that can help the local people.
Food is the first necessity of the people.
In Ethiopia, SDIC has successively built three large modern sugar factories, namely Kense, OMO2 and OMO3, by adopting China standard, China technology and China equipment, which has greatly solved the problem of local sugar shortage.
The Shajiala Chemical Fertilizer Plant Project undertaken by Bangladesh was invested by SDIC.
It is the most advanced modern large-scale chemical fertilizer plant in Bangladesh, which has greatly promoted the development of industry and agriculture and the improvement of people’s livelihood in Bangladesh after the completion of the project. On October 14th, 2016, during his visit to Bangladesh, the Supreme Leader of president jointly unveiled the project with Prime Minister Hasina, and published a signed article entitled "Let China-Bangladesh Cooperation Harvest Golden Fruits", praising the outstanding contribution of the project to China-Bangladesh friendship.
Through its own efforts, China Railway has made 1.6 million people in the Lebanese capital drink tap water.
In Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, almost every household has several large water tanks on the roof, which residents use to store daily water. The water in the water tank is delivered to the door by a special water truck for a fee, but this kind of water is only used for daily washing, and drinking water needs extra money. The price of a box of water is as high as 25,000-50,000 Lebanese pounds (about 104-209 yuan). When there is a lot of water, you have to buy it every two to three days, and the monthly water consumption accounts for one-third of the income of ordinary residents.
To this end, China Railway independently designed and developed the world’s smallest diameter rock tunnel boring machine, and successfully completed the tunnel part of the great Beirut water diversion project of about 22 kilometers. Announced the official farewell of Beirut residents in Lebanon to bottled water.
Xiaoxin said
Over the past five years, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative has received positive responses from more and more countries and international organizations, attracted extensive attention from the international community, and its influence is expanding day by day.
In the practice of "One Belt, One Road" construction, central enterprises have effectively promoted the process of globalization through trade, factor flow and talent exchange, and have also become a new driving force for global economic recovery and global economic growth.
In the future, central enterprises will participate more deeply in the construction of the "Belt and Road", deepen the exchanges and cooperation between countries along the route in the fields of equipment, technology and management on the principle of mutual consultation, joint construction and sharing, strive to build a community of destiny and interests, and make greater contributions to promoting the sustainable development of the global economy!
