On 28 October, China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Bureau of China published a document calling for multiple measures to be taken to ensure reasonable silicon production, to support the capacity of and encourage silicon companies to properly control the price level of their products. The document stresses that the authorities should strictly enforce price laws and anti-monopoly laws, strengthen market surveillance, report problems that disrupt market order, and question relevant market entities in a timely manner in order to promote lawful business operations.

Editor's note The authorities are intervening just as the price of silicon has finished rising. It therefore has every right to call for moderation in the price of silicon, to fight against monopolies... We would have preferred to hear these injunctions six or twelve months ago.
