On April 21, the Information Office of the State Council held a press conference to introduce the development of industry and information technology in the first quarter of 2026.

At the meeting, Zhang Yunming, Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology, mentioned that the industrial structure has been continuously optimized. Building materials industry "one decrease and one increase". In the first quarter, the cement industry took the initiative to "slim down", reducing and withdrawing nearly 30 million tons of production capacity through reduction and replacement. At the same time, the revenue of green building materials industry has increased steadily, and the number of certified green building materials products has increased by 5% compared with the end of 2025. This "one decrease and one increase" is a vivid example of industrial transformation and upgrading.
