China with rich coal resources ranks the first in the world in terms of coal reserves. In 2007, China's coal output and sales grew about 9% to 10%, and the profit growth rate of China's coal companies hit around 35% against the previous year. The industry prosperity was further enhanced. 

In recent years, China's fixed asset investment in coal industry has increased rapidly. During the period of 2001 to 2005, the investment grew at a rate of above 40%. In the next few years, China's investment in coal industry will reduce, because of regulation and control of national policy. With fast expansion in production capacity stimulated by a great deal of investment, China has an annual increase in coal production capacity by over 400 million tons
In 2007 and 2008 respectively, making its production capacity reach 2.93 million tons in 2008.
 
Thanks to coal price surges in 2008, China's coal industry has also made big gains. Generally speaking, China has a relatively tight supply of coal, so coal prices have made record highs repeatedly. Furnace coal prices rise faster than those of steam coal and anthracite. By the end of May 2008, the price of Qinhuangdao gifted mixed steam coal has jumped more than 60% against the same period last year. The prices of coking coal have even more than doubled in some areas, including Taiyuan, capital of Shanxi Province, and Tangshan, a city in Hebei province. According to the statistics from Jan. to Feb., 2008, the main business revenue and profit of China coal industry saw a fast increase, rising 40.8% and 66.8% respectively. China's coal industry is bound to have big gains in 2008. Good performance of coal industry in the first half year of 2008 shows that demand in downstream industries is still robust and transportation bottleneck continues to restrict the effective expansion of production capacity.

Mergers and acquisitions among coal producers and integration of assets in coal industry will be the bright spot in investment in the future.
