Shanxi province in North China is well on its way to developing a manufacturing sector after independently producing various high-end equipment on its own.

Before 2008, China had to buy shield tunneling machines from foreign countries. But now, Shanxi province can produce the machines independently, breaking the monopoly of foreign countries in the manufacturing industry.

Shield tunneling machines, used in constructing subways, alleviate traffic jams and greatly improve the efficiency of construction.

The quality of the shield tunneling machines made in Shanxi proved to be of internationally advanced standard during construction of the Shanxi metro system.

Besides the shield tunneling machines, Shanxi province is also developing proficiency in producing international standard high-speed railway wheels.
