State-owned enterprises are taking a more active role in the economic transformation of Huaibei in light of dwindling resources in a region that has traditionally relied on coal.

The northern city in East China's Anhui province has provided 800 million tons of coal for the country since its establishment in 1960, said Bi Meijia, Party chief of the city.
