　　　　　　 CCTV News:The 10th Beijing Xiangshan Forum will be held in Beijing International Convention Center tomorrow (October 29th). Up to now, official delegations from more than 90 countries and international organizations, including Russia, the United States, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, have confirmed their participation. Beijing Xiangshan Forum adheres to the concept of "equality, openness, tolerance and mutual learning" and is committed to gathering wisdom, expanding consensus and enhancing mutual trust. It has developed into an important platform for international security and defense dialogue and has important international influence.

Beijing Xiangshan Forum was held in 2006, and it has been 17 years since then. Our reporter interviewed military experts who participated in every forum in the past and will soon participate in the tenth forum. So, what was their initial impression of the forum? What are the most profound changes that I have felt over the years?

Jiang Xinfeng, Academy of Military Sciences:The first Xiangshan Forum was entirely for scholars, probably a round-table meeting of scholars from 21 countries. At that time, it was entirely an academic dialogue meeting. Later, it was upgraded from Track 2 to Track 1.5, which is a semi-official and semi-scholar discussion platform for security issues with the participation of scholars.

From the round-table meetings attended by dozens of scholars to the official delegations of more than 90 countries and international organizations this year, among them, 22 representatives at or above the ministerial level of national defense, 14 representatives at the general level of the armed forces, and more than 200 experts from more than 50 countries (regions) signed up for the meeting. Experts attending the meeting felt that the scale of Beijing Xiangshan Forum is getting bigger and bigger, the specifications are constantly improving, and the topics are getting wider and wider.

Li Shuyin, Academy of Military Sciences:At first, the discussion was only focused on the security issues in the Asia-Pacific region, but now it has been extended to the whole global security issues, not only traditional but also non-traditional. For example, this year’s design focuses on the European security architecture, the Northeast Asian security architecture and the Asia-Pacific security architecture centered on the ASEAN region, as well as nuclear security, maritime risk management and technical security issues.

Beijing Xiangshan Forum is not only a platform for international security discussions, but also a platform for cultural exchanges.

Li Shuyin, Academy of Military Sciences:For example, when we go out to attend an academic delegation and visit abroad, we will meet these old friends inadvertently. They can clearly remember their participation in Xiangshan Forum, including who was the host of their speech, including what hotel they stayed in, what delicious food they ate during this period, what delicious food they ate in China and what memorable gifts they bought, which may also be a witness to the expansion of China culture.

Li Shuyin said that the rising influence and attraction of Beijing Xiangshan Forum is behind the rising status of China.

Li Shuyin, Academy of Military Sciences:China’s status and role as a great power, and China’s role in international and regional security are constantly improving.

Mass production of the new "Poplar-M" intercontinental missile, restarting the aircraft carrier, resuming the global strategic patrol interrupted by strategic bombers for 15 years, proposing to deploy nuclear weapons in Belarus, and testing the most powerful conventional bomb … In recent months, the Russian army has frequently "shown its sword" and showed its "military muscle" to the world, making the west, which is bent on compressing Russia’s strategic space, nervous.
Lack of funds once trapped hands and feet.
In the 1980s, former Soviet strategic bombers frequently carried out long-range patrol flights. At that time, Tu -95, Tu -22 and Tu -16 strategic bombers were mainly used to carry out global strategic patrol missions, and their patrol areas covered vast areas such as the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, due to the economic depression and the reduction of military expenditure, the Russian army stopped its global strategic patrol activities in 1992.
Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the allocation for Russian military spending has been reduced year after year, and by 1999, the actual military expenditure was only $4.7 billion. Russian military personnel refer to this budget as the "death budget".
The funding problem has become the biggest bottleneck restricting Russian military reform and development. Due to the shortage of military expenditure, the Russian military’s equipment cost has been reduced again and again, and it can only repair the existing equipment and purchase a small amount of weapons, and the equipment situation has gone from bad to worse.
According to the statistics of the Russian Ministry of Defense at the end of 1999, the intact rate of aircraft and ships is only 50%, and the intact rate of helicopters and tanks is only 30%. Sergeyev, then Minister of National Defense, said frankly: "At least 30% of Russian weapons cannot be used on the battlefield."
Insufficient military spending has seriously affected the Russian military’s combat readiness and training activities. Due to the lack of fuel, planes lie prone at the airport, tanks are locked in the warehouse, and the training time of air force pilots is much lower than it should be, resulting in frequent flight accidents due to improper operation.
　　Russian troops rallied.
"Russian pilots have been on the ground for too long. It’s time for them to soar." President Putin said.
After Putin took office, he repeatedly said that he would increase military spending, so that the scale of the military budget should not be less than 3.5% of the gross national product. The improvement of Russian economy and the substantial increase of energy income have provided conditions for President Putin to fulfill his promise. In recent years, the Russian military budget has started to grow by leaps and bounds: from 411.5 billion rubles (US$ 1 is about 25.5 rubles) in 2004 to 820 billion rubles in 2007, the Russian military expenditure has increased by more than 20% every year.
The increasing military spending has made the Russian army frown slightly. With money, new weapons can be equipped. In 2006, Russia’s anti-ordering funds reached 236.7 billion rubles, an increase of 53.5 billion rubles compared with 2005. The Russian army greatly increased the procurement of advanced weapons and equipment such as high-precision weapons, efficient reconnaissance and radio electronic warfare complexes, and automated command systems. The "Baiyang -M" intercontinental ballistic missiles were deployed one after another, the first boat of the "God of the North Wind" class strategic nuclear submarine was launched, the new strategic missile "which can break through any anti-missile system" was successfully tested, and the S-400 air defense missile equipment unit, the strategic nuclear force of the Russian army and the combat readiness level of the air and space defense system were greatly improved.
The treatment of Russian soldiers is also improving. Since January 1, 2006, the salaries of Russian soldiers have increased by 15%. President Putin has also formulated the "15+15" plan for this purpose, stipulating that an additional 3 billion rubles will be allocated within two years to guarantee military housing.
With money, the equipment is no longer idle. The Russian army has increased the scale and quantity of military training, carried out long-range raids by strategic bombers, patrolled the ocean by naval formations, conducted missile tests by strategic missile units, and held joint military exercises with the armies of other countries from time to time.
Various reconnaissance activities of the Russian army resumed one after another. Zhikharev, deputy commander of Russian long-range aviation, said not long ago that Russian long-range aviation plans to conduct strategic patrol flights twice a week, covering the northeast Atlantic, Norwegian waters, the North Sea, the Sea of Japan and the area near the Arctic Circle. In fact, Russian bombers had carried out various reconnaissance flights many times before President Putin announced the resumption of strategic bomber patrols. According to reports, on August 8, two Tu -95MC bombers of the Russian Air Force went to Guam for strategic patrol and conducted reconnaissance and surveillance on US military bases and exercises.
Show "chest muscles" and "fists" to the west
Not long ago, a photo released by the media was quite eye-catching. In the photo, President Putin is fishing by the Yenisei River. The president didn’t wear a shirt, and the August sun shone on his strong chest muscles. An article on the website of The Times of England said, "Putin is showing his strength with bare arms." Indeed, President Putin showed not only hexapod muscles, but also clenched fists.
Take the global patrol of strategic bombers as an example. The Tu -160 and Tu -95 strategic bombers that perform tasks are all equipment of the last century. Although they are a little old, they are still quite easy to use. Tu -160 is an important means to destroy enemy deep targets. It can launch short-range attack missiles at subsonic low altitude, and can also carry out missile strikes and nuclear strikes at high altitude and supersonic speed. Tu -95 is equipped with advanced airborne electronic equipment, navigation system and new cruise missiles. At the same time, it is equipped with multifunctional navigation attack radar, optical aiming system, electronic jamming equipment and aerial refueling equipment, which has long-range strategic attack capability.
The west was also quite nervous about whether these bombers were cruising with live ammunition, and it was not until Russian military personnel officially said that the plane would fly with practice bombs that they breathed a sigh of relief.
On September 11th, the news that the Russian military successfully tested and exploded the most powerful conventional bomb in the world surprised the West again. It is reported that this super bomb, known as the "father of the bomb", contains 7.8 tons of new high explosive. Although the total amount of explosive is slightly less than that of the "mother of the bomb" of the US military, it is four times more powerful than its opponent because of the advanced formula, and the explosion radius reaches an astonishing 330 meters. From the TV screen, a huge crater appeared on the ground after the explosion of the "Father of Bombs", and the building near the test site was completely destroyed.
The Russian army frequently shows its "chest muscles" and "fists", which means more tit-for-tat with the West in addition to the recovery of military strength brought about by the enhanced economic strength. Taking Russia’s resumption of the global patrol of strategic bombers as an example, Colonel Alexander Drobyshevski, spokesman of the Russian Air Force, once said that Russia unilaterally stopped the long-range strategic patrol mission of strategic bombers to remote areas in 1992. However, other countries continue to carry out similar flights, which poses a certain threat to Russian national security.
For Russia, there are still many places where security is threatened. For example, despite Russia’s strong opposition and Russia’s initiative to propose alternatives, the United States insists on deploying anti-missile defense systems in the Czech Republic and Poland. Although the United States has repeatedly claimed that the deployment of anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe is aimed at countries such as Iran, its real intention should be known to everyone on earth. Since the United States can run to the door to deploy anti-missile systems, Russian strategic bombers can certainly fly out of the country to launch.
Although the west has a low-key response to the frequent "swords" of the Russian army, it has always been on high alert in secret. On September 6th, when the Russian-Tu -95 strategic bomber flew to the Atlantic Ocean to carry out strategic patrol mission, Britain dispatched four Tornado F-3 fighters and Norway dispatched two F-16 fighters to intercept it. In the future, Russian strategic bombers will cruise regularly, and it is not known whether there will be a misfire between the two sides.
When analyzing the reasons for the recent series of big moves by the Russian army, the British "Economist" magazine believes that the external reasons are secondary, and the main reason is that Putin and the Kremlin want to restore their inherent culture and rebuild Russia’s glory.
National strength is the foundation of military strength, and military strength is the display of national strength. From this perspective, the British "Economist" view is not unreasonable. (Author: Xiao Lan Editor: Zhao Ligen/Internship Editor: Gao Lili)

1905 movie network news On April 19th, Rene Liu, the director, appeared on the Nanjing campus with her directorial debut "Later Us". The scene not only gave generous hugs, but also comforted the students present with "touching their heads and killing them", which was also praised by the students on the scene for her film being as warm as her people. To my surprise, Mr. Tian Zhuangzhuang also appeared at the meeting to support the film. This time, Rene Liu brought films into the campus, which caused a fierce response. Tickets for the "Later Us" campus meeting were hard to find, and the venues were full. Some fans even came to Wan Li to meet the director.

According to Rene Liu, the inspiration for the film "Later Us" came from her short story "Going Home for the New Year". She said that she wanted to show the working and emotional life of ordinary people in the past ten years, so she had this film. As for Rene Liu, who first directed the tube, Tian Zhuangzhuang also praised his accurate expression of the characters, which surprised him. At the same time, Rene Liu was calm and clear about what he wanted and didn’t want. At the end of the activity, the students at the scene shouted "Happy Birthday to Jing Bao and Jian Qing" to help Jing Bo Ran, the hero of the film.

Rene Liu exposed the film inspiration from his short stories and offered "touching his head to kill" to give students strength.

As the first film directed by Rene Liu, many people will be curious about why Rene Liu filmed Later Us in her first film and what she wanted to express. In this regard, Rene Liu said at the scene that this story is actually an adaptation of his novel Going Home for the New Year. "It turns out that there is a novel in my book called Going Home for the New Year. It is about a man and a woman who go to work in a big city. When they go back to their hometown every year, their emotional state will be different. Sometimes they are friends, sometimes they are lovers, sometimes they are quarreling, sometimes they are in love, and sometimes they have broken up, but usually we will have good news when we go home.

After watching the film, the students present said: "The film is very sincere. Zhou Dongyu and Jing Bo Ran are laughing and playing. On a happy day, although they are silly, they are pure and have no impurities. They once had a life that was worthwhile." Talking about the expectation of the film, Rene Liu also said: "I hope the audience can see the emotions I want to express in the film. Everyone in the filming team put their emotions into this film. If you are a little moved, it will be my happy thing."

With the upcoming release of the film, the popularity of the film "Later Us" continues to heat up, and tickets for the road show meeting are hard to find. More enthusiastic fans went to Nanjing not far from Wan Li just to see Rene Liu, and Rene Liu also offered a warm heart to comfort the students present and give them strength. In the communication with the students on the spot, many senior graduates are deeply confused about entering the society, just like the hero and heroine in the movie. Rene Liu also encouraged them to say, "You should remember that you would rather suffer more when you are young, because you still have a lot of time, experiences and opportunities to bear failure, so I expect you to suffer a little when you are younger, do things you like and meet different people."

Tian Zhuangzhuang’s tear acting skills are praised as true and delicate. Students want to call their parents when they are touched by the scene.

During the live movie-watching session, Tian Zhuangzhuang’s father role touched all the students present. The students all said, "Many details in the movie remind me of my own parents. Seeing Qing and Lin’s father seem to see the state of our own communication with our parents when they quarrel. After watching the movie, I want to call them and say sorry to them." Tian Zhuangzhuang’s superb performance has also been recognized by many students, and some students praised him: "Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang’s acting skills are blown up."

It is worth mentioning that Tian Zhuangzhuang’s role as a father moved the students present, saying that they saw their state of getting along with their parents. At the end of the film, his father’s letter also made the students cry. Tian Zhuangzhuang also revealed at the scene: "My father’s letter was written by director Rene Liu himself, so it will be so real and moving."

When talking about Rene Liu’s first time as a director, Tian Zhuangzhuang praised him even more. He said: "Rene Liu was not short of money when she was a director for the first time. She made decisions all the time and handled all kinds of things properly, and her accurate expression of the characters surprised me." Rene Liu also responded: "Director Tian Zhuangzhuang is our spiritual leader, and he is not playing. He was the role when he entered that environment."

When the roadshow came to the school, many seniors were facing graduation, and they were also confused about the future. Teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang also answered the confusion on the spot: "Do anything with your heart, don’t care about gains and losses, don’t care about anything, and deliver all your love to what you want to do, and you will definitely get something." At the same time, he also said: "University is the most wonderful time in life. I hope students will cherish it, so that they will make a very good contribution to society."

　　In 2023, the soda ash market experienced great changes, and the price fluctuation was obviously intensified. This paper mainly analyzes the changes of soda ash market in 2023, and looks forward to the changes and unchanged in 2024.

　　I. Important changes in soda ash market in 2023

　　In 2023, the soda ash market has undergone many changes, both in supply and demand, and in the market competition pattern. As an important part of three acids and two alkalis, soda ash is known as the "mother of chemical industry". Because of its high degree of standardization and relatively easy preservation, there are more participants in soda ash futures and spot. On the whole, the changes of soda ash market in 2023 include the following five aspects:

　　First, the price fluctuation cycle of soda ash is shortened, and the price elasticity is intensified. Taking the price fluctuation of 1000 yuan/ton as the boundary, it will take several months or even years for soda ash to get out of a 1000 yuan/ton band before 2022, and the soda ash market will experience two waves of 1,000 yuan rise and two waves of 1,000 yuan fall in 2023. In 2023, the huge fluctuation of soda ash showed the characteristics of short-term strong outbreak, and most of the thousand-point market in the year was completed within 1.5-2.0 months. This change has an obvious impact on market participants. If we can’t change our thinking quickly, both spot and futures operations are prone to losses.

　　The picture shows the trend of domestic soda ash futures and spot prices from 2021 to 2023 (unit: RMB/ton).

　　Second, the supply of soda ash continued to increase, and the production capacity increased to a new high. In 2023, the domestic output of soda ash was about 32.54 million tons, an increase of 3.34 million tons, with an increase of 11.44%. This output accounts for nearly half of the global soda production, and has reached a record high. The sharp increase of soda ash production in 2023 is mainly affected by the release of daily production capacity and the increase of operating rate. In 2023, the domestic soda production capacity will increase by 6.3 million tons.Head enterprises represented by Jinshan, Henan Province continued to expand their production capacity. In 2023, the profits of ammonia-alkali method and combined alkali method (double tons) were 876 yuan/ton and 1387 yuan/ton respectively, which stimulated the operating rate to increase by 2.78% to 88.04% during the year.

　　Third, the concentration of soda ash upstream is further improved. The biggest change of soda ash market in 2023 is the sharp increase of industry concentration, and the leading enterprises’ control over prices is obviously enhanced. According to the data of Baichuan Yingfu, by the end of 2023, the effective production capacity of domestic soda ash was about 37.8 million tons, among which the top three enterprises (Henan Jinshan, Boyuan Yingen,The total production capacity is 13.2 million tons, accounting for 34.92%; The total production capacity of the top ten enterprises is 23.7 million tons, accounting for 62.70%. If the production capacity of the same group is combined, the top five enterprises in Henan Jinshan, Zhongyan Group,The total production capacity is about 22.1 million tons, accounting for 58.47%; By the end of 2022, the production capacity of the top five soda enterprises accounted for about 51.11%. Not only is the number improved, but Jinshan, Henan Province is the lowest-cost soda enterprise in China and the lowest-cost chemical soda enterprise in China. The market share of low-cost enterprises has increased, and the impact of the change in operating rate on the market has greatly increased. In addition, China National Salt Group, which ranks in the top five, is the main producer of soda ash delivery products in China, and the domestic soda ash production cost is high. The ecological environment in Qinghai is fragile, environmental protection problems are prone to repeated fermentation, the cost of seawater is high, the price sensitivity is high, and it is easy to reduce production after losses.

　　Fourth, the downstream demand of soda ash reached a record high. In 2023, the domestic total consumption of soda ash was about 31.32 million tons, an increase of nearly 2 million tons compared with 2022. The main increase comes from the increase of photovoltaic glass production. From January to November 2023, the domestic photovoltaic glass output was 22,593,300 tons, an increase of 8,119,300 tons compared with the same period of last year, with a growth rate of 56.10%. It is estimated that the domestic photovoltaic glass output will be 25 million tons in 2023, an increase of 8.8 million tons compared with the same period of last year, and the demand for soda ash will increase by 1.76 million tons. In addition to the impact of the increase in photovoltaic glass production, the increase in lithium carbonate production also brought about some increase.

　　Fifth, soda ash imports hit a new high for many years. In 2023, the export volume of soda ash was about 1.47 million tons, and the import volume was about 770,000 tons, which reached a new high in more than ten years. In 2023, overseas soda production capacity increased slightly, but the growth rate of overseas demand was low. In 2023, the center of gravity of domestic soda ash price moved up, and the spot price rose above 3,000 yuan/ton for many times. After the price difference between domestic and foreign markets was opened, leading glass enterprises and large traders actively imported natural alkali with lower price, mainly American alkali and Turkish alkali. According to the CIF price of US$ 210/ton and the exchange rate of US$ 7.10 against RMB, the total cost of importing trona (including customs duties, value-added tax and transportation fees) for glass enterprises is only RMB 2,000/ton. When the domestic price rises above 2600 yuan/ton, and the price difference is greater than that of 600 yuan/ton, even considering the risk of falling spot price, the import is still profitable.

　　Second, the change and invariability of soda ash market in 2024

　　1. Constant: High volatility continues.

　　The constant price of soda ash, a basic chemical, will be its frequent change, and the high fluctuation characteristics of soda ash will continue in 2024. Soda soda, a non-hazardous chemical, has a high degree of standardization, so it has been widely concerned by market funds. In addition to institutional investors, in recent years, soda production, consumption and trade enterprises have also actively participated in the futures market, and the current institutions are constantly emerging and their influence on the market is increasing. In the constant game of the market, the price fluctuation of soda ash is also obviously intensified, and the high fluctuation will continue in the future.

　　Due to the high fluctuation of soda ash, there are obvious hedging opportunities in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain. From 2021 to now, domestic spot price and futures of Shahe heavy soda ashThe price difference of the contract fluctuates obviously, and most of the futures are discounted to the spot, but there have also been several waves of futures premium spot trends. Under the pessimistic expectation, the soda ash futures price in 2023 is mostly discounted in cash, but two waves of soda ash surge in the year make the basis quickly repaired. At present, the soda ash market is still characterized by a large discount on spot futures, and downstream enterprises should actively pay attention to the opportunity to buy soda ash near the cost price in the distant month for hedging. Upstream enterprises rely on spot prices to sell recent contracts for hedging.

　　2. unchanged: the expectation of oversupply is hard to change.

　　Since March 2023, the main trading logic of soda ash market has been the expectation of oversupply brought by production capacity. In 2023, the domestic soda production capacity increased by 6.3 million tons, and there are still nearly 3 million tons of production capacity to be released in 2024. According to the production pace of soda ash, the oversupply of soda ash in 2024 is expected to be obvious, especially in the first half of the year, there are few maintenance arrangements for enterprises, and the supply pressure brought by new production capacity will have a greater impact on prices, and the trend of SA2405 is downward.

　　3. No change: the maintenance effect will continue to ferment.

　　In 2023, the soda ash market fluctuated greatly, and besides the impact of the release rhythm of new capacity, the phased maintenance of old equipment also had a more obvious impact on the price. The surge of soda ash from July to August, 2023 was driven by "delayed launch of new production capacity" and "large-scale overhaul of old equipment", and the surge of soda ash in November, 2023 basically continued the dual drive. Looking forward to 2024, the spot and futures prices of soda ash will face obvious price pressure in the first half of the year, with the increase in imports and the release of new capacity at the beginning of the year, and the maintenance in the first half of the year is usually less. If the price drops sharply in the first half of the year, especially after falling below the cost of ammonia-alkali process, the overhaul of soda ash market will increase obviously, and it is likely to exceed the supply increment brought by new production capacity. From the time point of view, the large-scale overhaul of soda ash in 2024 may take place in June-August, and the double pressure of high temperature superposition and falling prices in summer will promote the overhaul of soda ash enterprises. If the maintenance happens as scheduled, the price of soda ash is likely to rebound in stages.

　　The table shows the influence matrix of soda plant commissioning and maintenance on the price.

　　4, unchanged: photovoltaic glass brings incremental demand.

　　In 2023, 19 domestic photovoltaic glass production lines will be added, and the daily melting capacity will increase by 19,750 t/d to 99,810 t/d. In 2023, the incremental demand of photovoltaic glass for soda ash will be nearly 1.8 million tons. In 2024, domestic photovoltaic glass will still be in the cycle of capacity expansion, and the demand for soda ash will increase, which will still be the main source of incremental demand for soda ash. Affected by the early warning system of photovoltaic glass production capacity and the slowdown of demand growth, after considering the maintenance and other factors, it is estimated that the domestic photovoltaic glass production capacity will increase by 20,000-25,000 t/d to 120,000-125,000 t/d in 2024, the annual output will increase by about 6 million tons, and the demand for soda ash will increase by 1.2 million tons.

　　5. Constant: Downstream demand remains rigid.

　　In 2023, the market of soda ash is mainly driven by the supply side, and the demand side is relatively less sensitive to the price. The downstream of heavy alkali is mainly used for float glass and photovoltaic glass, while the downstream demand of light alkali is relatively dispersed but closely related to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Before the price of soda ash rose above 3000 yuan/ton, the demand of heavy alkali and light alkali changed little; When the price rises above 3000 yuan/ton, the downstream of heavy alkali will obviously reduce the purchase, and some downstream of light alkali will reduce the production to reduce the loss. Because the demand for soda ash is relatively rigid, changes in the supply side will lead to huge price fluctuations. With the continuous increase of photovoltaic glass production, the proportion of heavy alkali demand will continue to increase, and the change of soda ash demand side will be smaller.

　　6. Change: non-traditional demand or exceeding expectations

　　In 2024, the demand for soda ash is expected to increase by 2 million tons, which is close to that in 2023. The incremental demand brought by photovoltaic glass is slightly reduced, and the demand for float glass is slightly increased. Represented by lithium carbonateThe demand for alkali will increase, and new fields such as nano-zinc oxide will create some new demand areas. On the whole, the demand for soda ash in 2024 is not pessimistic, and we will continue to pay attention to the production capacity of photovoltaic glass and the non-traditional demand changes represented by lithium carbonate in the later period.

　　7. Change: the end of the high-profit pattern

　　On the whole, the pattern of soda ash market in 2024 is set to be loose supply, especially in the first half of the year. In 2024, the expectation of oversupply in soda ash market will be fulfilled with a high probability, and the price center may be significantly lower than that in 2023. According to the average price of 2000 yuan/ton of heavy alkali, the average profit of ammonia-alkali process may drop to 200-300 yuan/ton in 2024, which is obviously lower than the average profit of 876 yuan/ton in 2023. In 2024, soda ash spot enterprises may experience staged losses, and individual enterprises may withdraw from the market.

　　8. Change: The overall operating rate of the industry will decline.

　　Under the background of production capacity, it is expected that the price of soda ash will drop and the profit will drop in 2024, and the industry operating rate will decline. Among them, the low-cost natural alkali may maintain a high operating rate, and the operating rate of high-cost combined alkali and ammonia-alkali method may show a downward trend. Periodic losses and maintenance may lead to the operating rate of soda ash industry falling below 80%.

　　9. Change: The import volume may be significantly reduced.

　　In 2023, the import of soda ash increased sharply, and the core reason was the expansion of internal and external price difference. In 2024, the operation center of soda ash price will move down and the import window will be closed. It is estimated that exports will drop significantly in 2024, and the annual export volume may drop to around 400,000 tons, which is lower than 770,000 tons in 2023.

　　10. Change: The mode of trade may continue to change.

　　Influenced by the opportunity brought by the fluctuation of soda ash price, a large number of current institutions have emerged in the domestic soda ash market since 2021, among which Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai-based institutions are deeply involved. With the advantages of capital, talents and information, current merchants have become one of the leading forces in soda pricing. Through the combination of existing machines, the spot price has become an important way of soda ash spot circulation. Leading float glass enterprises, such as Qibin and Xinyi, also began to use the point price to purchase. Under the impact of the new model, the trade pattern of soda ash has changed greatly, especially in Shahe and Hubei, two delivery warehouses.

　　11. Change: the direction or change of goods.

　　In 2023, a large amount of new capacity of soda ash was released, among which 4 million tons of new capacity of Yuanxing Energy and 2 million tons of new capacity of Jinshan, Henan Province had the most significant impact. Due to the limited consumption of soda ash in northwest China, most of the soda ash in Inner Mongolia and Qinghai needs to be sold abroad. With the continuous release of new production capacity, the trade pattern of domestic soda ash market will also change in the future. The low-cost Yuanxing trona will mainly circulate in the northern region, and Henan Jinshan will further enhance its market share in Central China and East China. The original soda enterprises with North China and Central China as the main consumption areas will pay more attention to the regional markets such as East China and South China in the future, and the competition will be more intense.

　　12. Change: Downstream pricing power will be significantly enhanced.

　　In 2024, the price of soda ash shows a downward trend as a whole, the upstream pricing power will be weakened, the downstream pricing power will be enhanced, and the profit of the industrial chain is expected to be reconstructed. In the downward price stage, the downstream wait-and-see mood may intensify, leading to "negative feedback" in the spot market. When the price of soda ash falls to near the cost of ammonia and alkali, downstream enterprises may increase their replenishment efforts, and then the inventory will be transferred from upstream to downstream. Benefiting from the downward trend of raw material prices, the profit of float glass in 2024 may be slightly better than that in 2023. (Author:Futures)

　　The newspaper reported on 6th (reporter Guo Minghua, Xue Jing, Sang Lei) that on 6th, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a member of Heilongjiang Province who attended the 14th session of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, attended the group meetings of his respective sectors, discussed the government work report, plan report and budget report with members from all over the country, and continued to review the work report and proposal work report of the Standing Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
