Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the phenomenon of "involution" in China, attributing it to the country's transformation into an "economic machine" since the reform and opening-up in 1980, driven by GDP-centric performance evaluations and competition with foreign brands [2][3]. Group 1: Economic Machine and Involution - China has become an economic machine characterized by societal mobilization for economic gain, with a focus on GDP as a performance metric for local governments [2]. - The first phase of this economic machine involved domestic brands competing against foreign brands across various industries, leading to a focus on import substitution [2]. - Post-2018, the U.S. redefined China as a strategic competitor, prompting the need for China to enhance its economic capabilities, particularly in technology and manufacturing sectors [3]. Group 2: Strategies and Outcomes - The strategy of "involution" was adopted to foster competitiveness in emerging industries like electric vehicles, renewable energy, and semiconductor manufacturing, with local governments providing support to their enterprises [3]. - This approach aims to produce a few highly competitive companies that can dominate international markets, despite the high number of failures among supported firms [3]. - The article argues that this internal competition has significantly increased efficiency, although it raises concerns about fairness and social balance [3]. Group 3: Fairness and Distribution - The government has implemented policies to ensure relative fairness, such as maintaining public ownership and monopolies in critical industries, which do not participate in involution [4]. - The distribution system in China is portrayed as more equitable than that of the U.S., with various social welfare programs aimed at improving living standards and reducing poverty [5]. - The article emphasizes that the current system, which combines state capitalism in production with socialist principles in distribution, is superior in addressing social issues compared to the U.S. model [5].

4月22日，道达尔能源宣布了一项重要决定：将于2027年年底永久关闭其位于比利时安特卫普炼油 及石化工厂内的一座老旧裂解装置。这一消息迅速引发了全球石化行业的关注，成为欧洲石化产业结构 性调整的又一标志性事件。这也折射出欧洲地区持续面临石化产品供应过剩、需求疲软以及成本高昂的 困境。 道达尔能源的情况并非孤例。在过去一年里，欧洲石化行业掀起了一股显著的"去产能潮"，多家国 际化工巨头相继宣布关闭旗下裂解装置，勾勒出区域产业结构剧烈调整的图景。 在过去一年里，欧洲其他宣布关闭的裂解装置还包括埃克森美孚位于法国格拉旺雄圣母镇的裂解装 置、沙特基础工业公司位于荷兰赫林的裂解装置，以及意大利维萨利斯公司位于布林迪西和普廖洛的裂 解装置。这些被关闭的装置均为石脑油裂解路线，共同特点是依赖传统原料路线，且未形成完整的上下 游一体化产业链，在当前市场环境下竞争力不足。 值得注意的是，利安德巴塞尔工业公司去年宣布正在评估其位于欧洲的多个工厂的选择方案，包括 法国的贝雷和德国的明希斯明斯特，该公司在这些地方运营着裂解装置。与关闭潮形成对比的是，英力 士集团计划于2027年在安特卫普投产一套年产能145万吨的乙烷裂解装置，这一新 ...
