[Goldwind Technology Launches the Construction of Türkiye Wind Power Blade Factory]Heilongjiang Province recently released the "Special Implementation Plan for Large scale Construction of New Energy Storage (2025-2027)", which specifies that the installed capacity of new energy storage will exceed 6 million kilowatts by 2027. This plan constructs a collaborative development pattern of "source grid load", supporting large-scale energy storage around clean energy bases on the power supply side, laying out energy storage power stations in load centers on the power grid side, and innovating models such as "energy storage+park" and "energy storage+computing center" on the user side, comprehensively enhancing the new energy consumption capacity. At the same time, the plan introduces market-oriented trading mechanisms and capacity compensation mechanisms, and innovatively utilizes retired thermal power plant resources to build energy storage power stations, and carries out demonstration of grid based energy storage technology. This series of measures will effectively solve the problem of new energy consumption, drive investment in the energy storage industry chain, and provide important demonstrations for the transformation of energy and the construction of new power systems in Northeast China.

On April 3, 2026, the domestically developed maximum diameter 13.2-meter hard rock TBM by CCCC Tianhe started construction in Changshu. The machine is equipped with 7600 domestically produced rare earth special steel main bearings developed by the Institute of Metals, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with a rated life of over 15000 hours and performance exceeding imports. This move marks China Communications Construction Corporation's first achievement of 100% localization of core components for ultra large diameter tunneling machines, completely bridging the last mile of national production of major underground engineering equipment in China.Editor/Cheng Liting
At the Export to China SCO Choice Forum, Kazakh companies signed a $125 million agricultural export agreement with Chinese partners. Changsha Kaliev, the Minister of Trade of Kazakhstan, led a delegation to visit Shandong to deepen industrial and logistics cooperation. As the largest trading partner, the bilateral trade volume between China and Kazakhstan is expected to increase from 41 billion US dollars in 2023 to 48.7 billion US dollars in 2025, with Shandong's trade volume reaching 2.2 billion US dollars. Both sides are shifting from scale expansion to quality and efficiency improvement, with a focus on promoting the export of high value-added, non resource, and green technology products to ensure supply chain stability.Editor/Cheng Liting
