Ukusetyenziswa kombane eTshayina kwisiqingatha sokuqala sika-Epreli kuye kwanda ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo, njengoko uqoqosho oluchaphazeleke yi-coronavirus luqala ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo kancinci kancinci njengoko ilizwe linciphisa amanyathelo okuthintela athathiweyo ukulwa nobhubhane.

Ukusetyenziswa kwamandla kuqoqosho lwesibini ngobukhulu kwihlabathi kunyuke nge-1.5% kwiiveki ezimbini zokuqala zika-Epreli ukusuka kwixesha lonyaka ophelileyo, ngelixa ukuveliswa kombane kunyuke nge-1.2%, utshilo umcwangcisi welizwe kwingxelo ngoMvulo.

I-China yayirekhode ukwehla kwe-4.2% ekusebenziseni umbane ngoMatshi kunye nokwehla kwe-10.1% ngoFebruwari xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka odlulileyo, njengoko abasemagunyeni babebeka imiqathango engqongqo ekuhambeni nasekusebenzeni kweshishini ukuze kuthintelwe ukusasazeka kobhubhane ofana nomkhuhlane, owaqala ukuchongwa kwisixeko saseTshayina esiphakathi eWuhan.

Ukusetyenziswa kwamandla ashushu kwehlise amaxabiso amalahle, eyona fuel isetyenziswa kakhulu ekuveliseni umbane eTshayina, ukuya kwi-498 yuan ($70.38) ngetoni ngoLwesihlanu, ehle nge-11% ukusukela ekuqaleni konyaka.

Iingcali ezivela kwi-industrial think-tank, i-China Coal Economic Research Association (CCERA), ziqikelele ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwamalahle eTshayina kwikota yokuqala kufikelele kwi-870 yezigidi zeetoni, kwehla nge-60 yezigidi zeetoni ukusuka kunyaka ophelileyo. Phakathi kwazo, imfuno yamalahle kwicandelo lamandla kuphela ibone ukwehla kwe-50 yezigidi zeetoni.

Kunye nokunyuka kwakhona kokusetyenziswa kwamalahle kunye nokuveliswa kwamandla, imveliso yamalahle yaseTshayina ifikelele kwinqanaba eliphezulu ngoMatshi kwiitoni ezingama-340 ezigidi, i-National Bureau of Statistics ibonise ngoLwesihlanu.
