Support given to Shanxi's economic transformation

Shanxi province was granted more support from the central government to achieve economic transformation as an energy resource-based economy, according to a guideline released by the State Council on Monday.

The document set goals on establishing a mechanism to bolster the economic transformation of Shanxi by 2020, when more coalmining and processing will be cut off, with advanced production capacity to increase by two-thirds of overall industrial value-added output.
