Recently, the Fujian Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association has thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. Focusing on strengthening Fujian’s petrochemical industry as its core business, it has taken on its responsibilities with determination, taken proactive actions, and strived to build competitive advantages by contributing to the overall development. The plenary session called for accelerating high-level self-reliance and strength in science and technology to drive the development of new forms of productive forces. In line with the spirit of the plenary session, Fujian Province has focused its development efforts in the petrochemical and chemical industries during the 15th Five-Year Plan period on high-end chemical new materials. In response to the requirements of the Fujian Provincial Government, the association has established four specialized committees for research on chemical new materials as well as for digitalization initiatives, and has put forward four key actions: first, by adhering to the principles of \"high-end products, modernized industries, and advanced infrastructure\", it is necessary to deepen industrial research and formulate scientific development plans ； Second, establish a platform that integrates industry, academia, research, and application to promote technological innovation and the transformation of research results ； Third, promote coordination within the industrial chain to build an ecological system for specialty chemical and new material industries in Fujian ； Fourth, strengthen talent training and exchange to build a high-level talent pipeline. The association will also explore ways to deepen enterprise-led industry-university-research cooperation models, in order to accelerate the translation of research achievements from universities into practical applications in areas where they have strengths, such as high-end new materials, fluorine-containing fine chemicals, electronic chemicals, hydrogen energy, and green chemistry. It will also speed up technological innovation and industrial transformation and upgrading, by facilitating improvements to the suitability of raw materials used by Fuhai Chuang, as well as energy-saving upgrades to PTA production processes. Additionally, projects aimed at strengthening and expanding the industrial chain, such as the Fuhua Luhua carbon tetra-carbon nine resin project and the Haiquan Chemical vinyl acetate production project, will be pursued, thereby providing strong support for enhancing the overall competitiveness of Fujian’s petrochemical industry. Meanwhile, to overcome this phenomenon of excessive competition, the association has proposed four measures: focusing on innovation-driven development, clarifying action directions, implementing tiered and categorized initiatives, and emphasizing the need to take action starting from oneself and right now. These measures are intended to guide member companies to put an end to the reckless pursuit of scale, prices, and market share in such competitive environments, thereby promoting the healthy and orderly development of the industry.
