China Is to Develop Changzhi's LED Industry to Boost The City's Economy

Changzhi, the city in southeastern Shanxi province, China is to develop its LED industry to boost the city’s economy. According to the city s mayor Zhang Bao, the coal industry "has once contributed much to Changzhi, but over-dependence on the industry led to difficulties," so they "made a strategic choice to seek some new sources of development." The LED industry is one of the solutions. The LED industry is believed to be a new engine to boost the Changzhi's economy with the nation's only one full LED industrial chain established there. With two years' effort, the city has built a large-scale LED industry cluster. It will become the world's first LED industry park with an integrated industrial chain. In addition, the government also plans to build the world's largest production base of sapphire and high-end lighting facilities. Source: www.ledinside.com
