(...) in 2019 the demand for optical fiber products decreased in the Republic of Belarus, which also led to active search for markets abroad, particularly, in Ukraine.
The growth of imports was caused by global trends in the development of renewable energy and the introduction of 4G technology.
In 2016, the Chinese government introduced the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development (2016-2020), which is part of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for Social and Economic Development, which aims to increase the share of clean energy to 20% by 2030.
At the same time, due to the construction of a significant number of environmentally friendly power plants, China has faced the problem of overproduction and irrational territorial distribution of energy capacity. Thus, in 2017 more than 30% of renewable energy in Xinjiang and Gansu provinces was not used at all.
