Inner Mongolia Xianghuang Banner is rich in granite resources, and is "the hometown of stone materials in Northern China". Currently, it has a mining capacity of 50000 cubic meters of raw materials and an annual processing capacity of 2 million square meters of plates. Five of the 10 local enterprises above the designated size are stone enterprises. As a pillar industry of local people's livelihood, stone resources are of great significance in providing employment opportunities and promoting rural revitalization. The China Stone Association has been closely following the development of the inlaid yellow flag stone industry, and the two sides have maintained long-term contact and cooperation. At the "crossroads" of coordinating the environment and development of the stone industry, how does the stone industry with yellow flags develop? On July 5, 2022, Li Jianqiang, the leader of the Inlaid Yellow Flag, led a team of four to visit the China Stone Association to exchange views and seek answers. Accompanied by Wu Ningqi, the Director of the Office, Tong Junchao, the Director of the Development and Reform Commission, and Song Qigang, the Deputy Director, the two sides conducted in-depth exchanges on the current development of the stone industry, the construction of green mines and green parks, the integration of mining rights, environmental and ecological restoration and governance, trade and circulation, and many other aspects.
The meeting was chaired by Sun Weixing, Secretary General of China Stone Association, and the participants of China Stone Association were: Executive Vice President Qi Zigang, Secretary General Sun Weixing, Deputy Secretary General Tan Jinhua, Tian Jing, and Secretary General Ma Yingbo.

He also introduced the development situation of China Stone Association and the industry, which has experienced rapid development in the stone industry since 2000 to 2012, but is currently affected by the global epidemic and the overall environment of the international situation; In addition, due to many adverse factors such as the downturn in the real estate market and the tightening of government financial expenditure in China, it is most unfavorable for the development of the industry, and the development of enterprises is facing difficulties. It is expected that local governments should comprehensively consider the reasonable and legitimate demands of individual enterprises during the period of resource integration and mineral rights restructuring, and provide protection; The stone industry has already passed the period of winning by quantity. Currently, the development needs to shift from focusing on production to focusing on quality, expand publicity, and thereby turn to greater benefits; Actively play the role of the government, follow the path of sustainable development, benefit future generations, point out the direction for enterprise development, and contribute to the industry.
