Pingzhuang Coal Groups Company, including six open pit coal mines, produces 10 million tons per year.

  • HUAINAN, CHINA – JUNE 14: Chinese street vendors and customers gather at a local market outside a state owned Coal fired power plant near the site of a large floating solar farm project under construction by the Sungrow Power Supply Company on a lake caused by a collapsed and flooded coal mine on June 14, 2017 in Huainan, Anhui province, China. The floating solar field, billed as the largest in the world, is built on a part of the collapsed Panji No.1 coal mine that flooded over a decade ago due to over-mining, a common occurence in deep-well mining in China’s coal heartland. When finished, the solar farm will be made up of more than 166,000 solar panels which convert sunlight to energy, and the site could potentially produce enough energy to power a city in Anhui province, regarded as one of the country’s coal centers. Local officials say they are planning more projects like it, marking a significant shift in an area where long-term intensive coal mining has led to large areas of subsidence and environmental degradation. However, the energy transition has its challenges, primarily competitive pressure from the deeply-established coal industry that has at times led to delays in connecting solar projects to the state grid. Chinaâs government says it will spend over US $360 billion on clean energy projects by 2020 to help shift the country away from a dependence on fossil fuels, and earlier this year, Beijing canceled plans to build more than 100 coal-fired plants in a bid to ease overcapacity and limit carbon emissions. Already, China is the leading producer of solar energy, but it also remains the planetâs top emitter of greenhouse gases and accounts for about half of the worldâs total coal consumption.

On the same day, the national carbon emission trading was officially launched at the Shanghai Environment and Energy Exchange. The first batch of key emitters in the power generation industry to participate in the national carbon emission right trading exceeded 2,000 units, and these enterprises emitted more than 4 billion tons of carbon dioxide. This also means that China’s carbon emission trading market has become the world’s largest carbon market covering greenhouse gas emissions.

  • MACAU – JULY 29: A general view of the Wynn Casino is seen on July 29, 2013 in Macau, Macau. Macau, the only place in China with legalized casino gambling is booming. Gambling has been legal in Macau for more than 150 years but has seen a rapid transformation over the last decade from the small time gambling clubs, gangs and prostitution of the 1990s, to becoming the worlds gambling mecca. Last year, Macau generated $38 billion in casino revenue, six times more than Las Vegas, Nevada. Situated just one hour from mainland China and Hong Kong, Macau also known as “The Oriental Las Vegas ” received 14.1million visitors for the first six months of this year, in the most recent Statistics and Census Bureau report, with close to 90% of visitors being from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Although the gambling industry has improved general living standards across Macau, it is not without it’s downside. With the influx of big money also comes, higher living costs, with some residents saying issues such as transportation, health care and social welfare have largely been ignored. Property prices have increased dramatically, forcing many small and mid-sized businesses into bankruptcy and pushing some residents to share accommodation or move away completely.
