A Study on China's Petrochemical Industry: Status and Prospects Ihkpyo Hong The petrochemical industry is key in that it has a great effect on other industries and plays an important role in improving industrial structure. In the 1980s, China's petrochemical industry developed rapidly due to the country's becoming economic growth.

However, despite increased petrochemical complex and production, China's rate of self-sufficiency in petrochemical goods remains only 60%. China's petrochemical market continuously remains in short supply and depends heavily on imports. In addition, China's petrochemical industry faces serious obstacles such as small-sized ethylene factories, an unsettled free market system, disordered circulation of goods, worn-out plants and equipment, and environmental pollution. Therefore China's government plans to actively develop its petrochemical industry through the 'Ninth Five-year Plan' (1996-2000), which entails expanding production, attracting foreign capital, and drawing in advanced technology.

China is currently the largest recipient of exports and investment from Korea's petrochemical enterprises. But the future for these exports and investment into China bodes uncertainty as China's petrochemical industry increases petrochemical complex and production, ASEAN's low-cost petrochemical goods enter the Chinese market, and EU, US, and Japan's petrochemical enterprises expand investment into China. In response, Korea's government and petrochemical enterprises must devise new directions in approaching China.
