The «New Angrarstroy» as a project of non-primary-based integration of Russian and Chinese economies: opportunities and challenges

Abstract

In the context of non-primary-based cooperation of Russia and China the innovation Project «New Angarstroy»: Baikal-Amur metallurgical super-combine, is being considered. It was developed as a key part of the new stage of industrialization in Russia, including of large scale Trans-Siberian and Baikal-Amur railway reconstruction. The project serves as an alternative to further increasing the exploitation of forest resources in the Baikal region, creating here new environmentally harmful cellulose and chemical plants and tourist hotels on Baikal. The project assumes the development of the largest metallurgy production of national and international scale, which will includes high-quality ferrous metallurgy of the full cycle and titanium-magnesium industry. The development of the Baikal ecological territory is assumed within the framework of the Lake-Temple subproject.
