    In terms of news, the recent outbreak in Guangxi has caused considerable pressure on the production and transportation of local electrolytic aluminum enterprises, and the completed production capacity of electrolytic aluminum in Baise in Guangxi has reached 2.
    315 million tons, accounting for 82.
    2% of Guangxi's total production capacity, and it is necessary to pay attention to the specific impact of
    the epidemic on production.
