摘要
FUXlN, in northwestern Liaoning Province, wasone of China's earliest energy industrial bases. During the First Five-Year Plan period(1953-1957), four of the 156 national key energy projects were carried out here. Fuxin has made great contributions to China's economic development, but its coal deposits are now seriously depleted. In 2001, the Chinese State Council selected Fuxin for a trial economic transformation. This has created new opportunities for the Fuxin people.
