In turn, the aluminum semi-products from Xinde Town are transported by rail and waterway to Bela City and Tete City for further processing, becoming household items and components for electrical equipment, forming an industrial closed loop.
Of course, East Africa could completely deploy related industries in Xinde Town, and indeed did so, but Xinde Town, located at the Zambia River estuary, does not have the advantages of other river mouths leading to the sea; shipping is a major issue, and the refining of bauxite and initial processing causes significant pollution, especially to water sources, making it unsuitable for constructing large cities locally. Meanwhile, Bela City and Tete City, which are closest to Xinde City, bore a lot of subsequent processing work.
