Background
The China Baowu Phnom Penh steel plant's blast furnaces and basic oxygen furnaces are from a plant in Xinjiang that was shut down in 2017.[1][2] In May 2019, China's steel maker Baowu Group announced its plans to relocate blast furnaces from remote Xinjiang to Cambodia as part of China's efforts to shift its excess capacity overseas.[3] The equipment is to be moved from Xinjiang Bayi Nanjiang Steel Baicheng Co Ltd, a Baowu subsidiary based in Aksu city in China which was shut down in 2017.[4] The move was expected to happen in late 2019.[5] According the OECD steelmaking capacity report 2022, the status of the project is still in planning stage.[6]
