我国宪法和矿产资源法虽然明文规定了矿藏资源(包括煤炭资源)为国家所有,但实际上存在着资源开发的严重地区壁垒,跨省、区开采尤其困难。即使是中央管理的国有大中型煤矿——统配煤炭企业,越过省界开采也无法做到。致使各煤矿在本矿区范围内资源枯竭之后,只能报废转产(最多在省内作一些矿井接替转移)。这种状况,造成了一些衰老企业纵然有充足的人力、物力,也无用武之地。究其原因是由于过去僵化的计划经济体制,办矿是依赖国家无偿投资,伸手把建设项目和投资争到本省,又何必让外省煤矿抢去 Although China’s Constitution and Mineral Resources Law explicitly stipulate that the mineral resources (including coal resources) are owned by the state, there are actually serious regional barriers to resource development. Inter-provincial and regional mining is particularly difficult. Even state-owned large and medium-sized coal mines controlled by the central government - unifying coal enterprises can not be exploited across provincial boundaries. As a result, the coal mines will only be scrapped and converted after they have exhausted their resources within the scope of this mining area (up to a few mines in the province will be taken over for transfer). This situation has caused some aging enterprises to have enough manpower and material resources to do nothing. The reason is that due to the rigid planned economy system in the past, mining was dependent on state unpaid investment, reaching out to construction projects and investment in the province,
