1.Resolution of overcapacity
The implementation of the "Belt and Road Initiative" has had a positive and far-reaching impact on China's stone industry. Stone production has firmly ranked first in the world. To varying degrees, there is an overcapacity phenomenon. The implementation of the "Belt and Road Initiative" can resolve a certain degree of overcapacity. On the one hand, deeply explore domestic supporting construction. For example, high-speed rail construction, park construction, and urbanization construction will all drive the demand for stone products. On the other hand, strengthen the cooperation of China's construction units in undertaking projects overseas. Because most of the materials needed for construction are purchased domestically, this can not only resolve the problem of overcapacity and resource surplus, but also give full play to the advantages of China's traditional equipment manufacturing, achieving multiple benefits.
2.Opportunities for enterprises to go global
The "Belt and Road Initiative" has emphatically proposed the construction of "industrial parks", pointing out the direction for the growth of the stone industry. At present, China's stone sales venues have not successfully gone abroad. In response to the "Belt and Road Initiative" construction, relevant countries and domestic governments at all levels will successively introduce some policies to encourage stone sales venues to build parks and open stores overseas. Domestic relevant associations and some international business (associations) have also taken active actions to act as a bridge and provide good services for enterprises to go global. In addition, Shuitou stone in Fujian Province has measured its footprints to all major stone production areas in the country. Through packaging, renting or joint operation, it has made useful explorations and attempts to bring the sales terminal as close as possible to the nearest distance of consumers.
3.Promotion of industry transformation and upgrading
The implementation of the "Belt and Road Initiative" construction is a long-term systematic project. Its scope of involvement, geographical span, and construction period are unprecedented. It is a good opportunity for the stone industry and is conducive to the transformation and upgrading of the stone industry. Although China has entered the ranks of major stone-producing countries, there are indeed many problems in the stone industry. For a long time, the extensive production and operation models of stone mining and processing enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, have not been changed. They have not had a strong sense of responsibility in resource conservation, environmental protection, and employee health. While the national strategy of the "Belt and Road Initiative" is driving the demand for stone, it will surely put forward new requirements for enterprise operation and management, which will force enterprises to carry out transformation and upgrading.
4.Acceleration of the internationalization process
Global integration has promoted the development of China's stone industry. As a member of the world stone industry, since 2005, China has comprehensively surpassed traditional stone powerhouses such as Italy, Spain, Turkey, and Brazil and has become the world's largest stone production, consumption, and export country. The status of Chinese stone in the international stone market is increasing day by day. In recent years, since the "Belt and Road Initiative" was proposed, it has had a positive and far-reaching impact on China's stone industry. While driving the demand for stone, it will surely put forward new requirements for enterprise operation and management, which will force enterprises to carry out transformation and upgrading, bringing new opportunities for the development of China's stone industry.
5.Cooperation with other countries
Turkey has a population of 70 million, a per capita GDP of more than 10,000 US dollars, and is in a pivotal position connecting Europe and Asia. Its geographical and economic status is extremely important. Turkey is also a country with abundant marble reserves, which is an important international market that Chinese stone enterprises are competing to seize. In the new situation and with new opportunities, I will bring you more stone market information! The Belt and Road Initiative meets new demands! In 2013, when President Xi Jinping delivered an important speech in Kazakhstan, he proposed the "Belt and Road Initiative" development strategy for the first time, which meets the common needs of countries along the line and opens a new window of opportunity for complementary advantages and open development of countries along the line. At the same time, it also means that bilateral relations between China and Turkey have reached a historical turning point.
In general, the "Belt and Road Initiative" strategy provides valuable opportunities for the stone industry. By resolving the problem of overcapacity, promoting enterprises to go global, promoting transformation and upgrading, and affecting the stone construction industry, it effectively enhances the international influence of the stone industry.
