Report summary
China’s coal mining sector has been through continuous reform in recent years. The country aimed to close 800 Mtpa of coal capacity by the end of 2020, and fulfilled that target two years early. However, it was not the end of the transformation in the sector. Consolidations are continuing and deepening by means of reorganising at company level. Also, coal mining activity is becoming increasingly geographically concentrated. Please read our report to find out more.
