If it is not the remediation environment in southern Jiangsu, Xiangshui County in northern Jiangsu may still struggle on the poverty line. Taking the Yangtze River as a cutting line, Jiangsu is divided into southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu. The former includes Nanjing, Wuxi, Changzhou, Suzhou and Zhenjiang. The latter are Xuzhou, Lianyungang, Suqian, Huai'an and Yancheng. This north-south boundary is also a dividing line between the rich and the poor. In 2007, the GDP of Northern Jiangsu was only one-third of that in southern Jiangsu.
Around 2000, a group of chemical companies that had been eliminated by Sunan and Zhejiang went north along the river to find new opportunities. The impoverished county, Yancheng City, a poverty-stricken county that is eager to embark on the road of enriching the people and enriching the county, and carrying out “all-people investment promotion”, has seized this opportunity. In June 2002, Chenjiagang Chemical Industry Park (later renamed Xiangshui Ecological Chemical Industry Park) came into being.
According to industry insiders, the chemical industry is known as the “printing machine” and has very good economic benefits. Even today, it is a profitable industry.
In the following years, Xiangshui Chemical Industry changed from zero to become the pillar of the economy. Xiangshui turned and jumped from “Northern Great Wilderness in Northern Jiangsu (10.560, 0.31, 3.02%)” to “Advanced County with Fiscal Income Increase”. Xiangshui County has high hopes for the eco-chemical park. In 2015, it was proposed to promote the eco-chemical park to become a national-level high-tech startup park by 2020.
But after a terrible noise, everything went to zero.
On March 21, 2019, an explosion occurred in Jiangsu Tianjiayi Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Tianjiayi Chemical) located in the ecological and chemical park. According to the official new report, as of March 25, the accident has caused 78 deaths, of which 56 have been confirmed and 22 are still to be confirmed. Of the 28 undisclosed persons previously notified, 25 have been confirmed dead and 3 others survived.
After the explosion accident, the General Office of the People's Government of Jiangsu Province issued an urgent notice on the solicitation of the “Jiangsu Chemical Industry Remediation Improvement Plan (Draft for Comment)”. The program pointed out that the existing 50 chemical parks in Jiangsu Province will be reduced to about 20; by the end of 2020, the number of chemical production enterprises in Jiangsu Province will be reduced to 2,000, and by 2022, the number of chemical production enterprises in the province will not exceed 1000 homes.
On April 4, the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Yancheng Municipal Committee held a meeting to completely eliminate the small chemical industry with low safety factor and serious pollution problems. The meeting decided that the Xiangshui Chemical Park will be completely shut down.
“You can’t make life safety affected by GDP.” A Yancheng government official told the Caijing reporter that afterwards, Xiangshui will face a new transformation. “There is no chemical plant in Xiangshui, but it has other industries, no Ways, adjust the direction. The pain must be there." The entrepreneurs in the Xiangshui Eco-Chemical Park are struggling. While waiting for the compensation policy, they are exploring new footholds.
The logic behind the water explosion is that the economically backward areas that are eager to develop have absorbed a large amount of chemical industry. While gaining considerable economic benefits, they have never been able to match the ability to eliminate hidden dangers.
Where will the chemical move? Is another water ring ready for them? Some experts expressed concern about the new round of chemical industry transfer: If the chemical industry continues to move westward and northward, the management level of “the next ring water” may not be as good as that of Jiangsu; if the chemical industry is transferred abroad, it is even more a loss.
The fate of the North Jiangsu chemical plant
With the explosion of Tianjiayi Chemical, a 2.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Guannan County on the other side of the Guanhe River, and two kilometers away, a dye factory in the Xiangshui Ecological and Chemical Park, five of which fell two of them, four The worker was injured. The deputy general manager of the dye factory, Zhang Li (a pseudonym), has an understatement: "We have lost it."
Jiangsu Dahe Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Dahe Chlor-alkali), which is closely related to Tianjiayi Chemical, is much more seriously damaged. "The factory buildings have fallen." Another neighbor of Tianjiayi Chemical, Jiangsu Huaxu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huaxu Pharmaceutical), had more than 10 employees killed in the explosion.
Most of the chemical plants in Xiangshui Ecological and Chemical Industry Park have a fate, and have experienced the turning point of being expelled and rectified, which is related to the survival of enterprises. After the explosion, they are facing a new threshold: Can they continue to live?
Some business owners are worried that this time they have no choice but to take the initiative. Zhang Li told the Caijing reporter that on March 26, he heard from a Yancheng government official that the chemical park might be closed.
"If we don't let it go, our losses will be big." He said that he is more willing to believe that the news released by government officials is only "in order to explore the corporate tone." Many business owners expressed the same appeal and hoped that the government could provide new factories and help them rebuild.
More than a decade ago, a forced relocation had caused the dye factory to be badly hurt. Zhang Li did not want to have a nightmare.
The dye factory was moved from Zhangjiagang City, Suzhou. According to Xue Tao, Executive Dean of the E20 Research Institute, the refining and chemical enterprises in the upstream of the chemical industry chain are generally state-owned, and there are very scattered and complex chain relationships, mainly private enterprises. The rise of large-scale refining and chemicals is closely related to the port. Therefore, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and have port advantages, are ideal for the chemical industry.
After the reform and opening up, a number of state-owned enterprises such as Yangzi Petrochemical and Jinling Petrochemical have taken root in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At the same time, a large number of chemical enterprises have emerged in the towns of southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and “villages are ignited and smoke everywhere”.
In 1992, the predecessor of Tianjiayi Chemical, Jiangyin Nijiaxiang Chemical Co., Ltd. was formally established. Zhouzhuang Town, where Jiangyin City is located, is known as the “Jiangnan Cloth Terminal”, and wool textile dyeing is one of the major industries. The chemical raw material manufacturing undertaken by Jiangyin Nijiaxiang Chemical Co., Ltd. is the upstream of the textile printing and dyeing industry.
In the late 1990s, economically developed regions gradually realized the environmental pollution caused by the brutal growth of the chemical industry. Ren Hongqiang, a professor at the State Key Laboratory of Pollution Control and Resource Reuse at the School of Environment, Nanjing University, said in an interview that almost all surface water in southern Jiangsu was polluted. There are more than 1,000 organic poisons in the Yangtze River in Jiangsu.
Xue Tao said that in the economically developed areas, some chemical companies have made more harm than good in terms of profits and taxes, environmental protection and safety, and should be eliminated.
With the rise of township enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, the economy of the Taihu Lake Basin has developed rapidly. In 2003, the Taihu Lake region accounted for less than 0.4% of the country's land area and 3% of the population, creating 13% of the country's gross domestic product and 19% of fiscal revenue. In 2007, Wuxi had a drinking water crisis due to the outbreak of cyanobacteria in Taihu Lake, and the bottled water in the supermarket was snapped up. According to the "Beijing News" report, the former staff of Tianjiayi said that because of the Wuxi Taihu Lake cyanobacteria incident, the company moved to Yancheng.
Why choose water?
The Xiangshui Ecological Chemical Industry Park was established on June 6, 2002 with the approval of the Yancheng Municipal Government. It is the first provincial-level science and technology pioneer park in Jiangsu Province with a planned area of 10.05 square kilometers.
For the reason of choosing the water, many business owners said that Xiangshui gave a more favorable policy when attracting investment. Zhang Li told the Caijing reporter that the land in Chenjiagang Town was very cheap and close to Zhangjiagang, so he came over.
At that time, the sound of the open arms of the chemical industry was smashed, and it was dubbed the "Northern Wilderness of Jiangsu" and "Northern Lankan Examination". In 2003, Zhu Bin, the then county magistrate of Xiangshui County, expressed his feelings of desperately trying to get rid of poverty in the article "Developing Project Economy and Promoting Leap-forward Development". He introduced various attempts by Xiangshui County to promote Fuminfu County. For example, in the past few years, the county has organized “project information collection for many people” and “doing everything possible to dig information, arrange customers, and find projects”; The County Planning Commission, the Economic and Trade Commission, and the Foreign Trade Bureau will give full play to the leading role, timely release all kinds of valuable project information, and guide all townships and departments to carry out investment promotion activities.
The direction of Xiangshui is aimed at Sunan, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places. An intriguing detail is that this article, written by the county magistrate of the impoverished counties of northern Jiangsu, was published on the “Startups of the Entrepreneurship” section of Sunan Science and Technology Development, and seems to be a welcome signal to the Sunan enterprises.
Zhu Bin wrote in the above article that since 2003, Xiangshui County has successively launched the “Investment and Investment Assault Month”, the Chenjiagang Chemical Industry Park (Nanjing) EIA Press Conference, and the County Economic Development Zone Shanghai Pudong Workstation Unveiling and Project Promotion Conference. A series of activities, "mainly attacking textile and chemical industry transfer zones in southern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, etc., focusing on capital-intensive areas and industrial clusters such as the southeast coast, and launching the brand of Xiangshui Merchants, which has attracted customers at home and abroad to invest and develop."
Xiangshui has a tendency to let go - in order to build the Chenjiagang Chemical Industry Park, this poverty-stricken county has taken a big job, including human and financial resources. Zhu Bin wrote that the park is an important carrier for attracting investment. The county economic development zone and the Chenjiagang Chemical Park have introduced 24 projects with an investment of over 10 million yuan, with an investment of nearly 2 billion yuan, and more than 80% of the chemical projects in the county. More than 60% of textile projects are built into the zone.
In terms of resolving the investment in the park, we will take the key investment of the provincial and municipal aid funds, and strive for credit investment. The county government will “l(fā)ift the sedan chair” to engage in infrastructure construction, and encourage the township and county departments to set up “Garden Park” and “Zhongzhong District”. In this way, “the county’s power to set up a park” has accumulated more than 60 million yuan of funds to invest in the construction of infrastructure such as water circuits in the park.
At the same time, the implementation of “park resources sharing across the county”, in accordance with the principle of “who introduced, who benefits”, actively guide the township and township projects into the park, all the tax revenues are owned by the townships and towns, and jointly enlarge and strengthen the park.
According to "China News Weekly" report, a 2005 government investment task list shows that the leaders of the county party committee are linked to the service enterprises according to the regulations, and all administrative departments have almost all the investment tasks, including the Education Bureau, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Judicial Bureau, The labor insurance bureau, the Land and Resources Bureau, the Construction Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Water Affairs Bureau and the Health Bureau must complete the introduction of a project of more than 10 million yuan per year.
The report mentioned a “beautiful talk” that reflected the local investment attraction. In July 2004, a Zhejiang merchant called the “China Merchants Office” in Xiangshui County and mistakenly called the “Admissions Office”. The staff of the Admissions Office not only treated the courtesy on the phone, but also quickly reported it to the leaders of the Education Bureau. The bureau immediately organized the troops to go to Zhejiang, invited merchants to negotiate with the water, and promoted the implementation of a new project.
According to the "China Business News" report, from 1994 to 2010, Sunan transferred 6,770 projects with a total investment of more than 5 million yuan to the five cities in northern Jiangsu, with a total investment of 197.5 billion yuan.
The economic return is quickly reflected. In 2006, Xiangshui County integrated the economic development zone, strengthened the Chenjiagang Chemical Concentration Zone, and established a new coastal economic zone. This became the “troika” of the Xiangshui economy in a few years. In the same year, Chenjiagang Chemical Concentration Zone was listed as one of the 100 key cultivation industrial clusters in Jiangsu Province. The main business revenue reached 2.4 billion yuan, accounting for 42% of the above-scale industries in Xiangshui County.
A year later, Chenjiagang Town entered the ranks of 50 key development towns in Yancheng. The economic structure of Xiangshui has also undergone fundamental changes, and the industrial economy has become the local main economy. Since the beginning of this year, Xiangshui County has been continuously recognized by Jiangsu Province as “advanced county with increased revenue and revenue”.
New eliminations and transfers are still taking place. On March 25, a Yancheng city government official told the Caijing reporter that in the past, after the conditions in southern Jiangsu were good, they changed from investment promotion to business selection, selected “excellent business”, and transferred the enterprises without advantages, so Su North has undertaken a number of chemical industries. "The local government must consider the economy. No one will say that the chemical industry is not good. We are also a truth. We are now moving to Shandong, Henan and other places."
The relevant person in charge of a central enterprise specializing in the construction of chemical plants also confirmed this point. He said that the chemical park is very popular in the central and western regions. There are many provinces that are looking for them to build chemical parks. The eastern chemical industry will be transferred, and the central and western regions will return to the old roads in northern Jiangsu.
A draft of the consultation draft announced afterwards will speed up the transfer. According to the urgent notice issued by the General Office of the People's Government of Jiangsu Province on April 1 for soliciting the “Jiangsu Chemical Industry Remediation Improvement Plan (Draft for Comment)”, Jiangsu Province will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of 50 chemical parks in the province, according to the park. The evaluation results of regional, industrial level, land area, planning permission, safety supervision, environmental management, etc. have reduced the chemical park to about 20; in areas where the chemical park has been cancelled, it is strictly forbidden to build new chemical projects. Resolutely shut down chemical enterprises that are highly flammable, flammable, explosive, safe and environmentally unsatisfactory, and gradually shut down or relocate other chemical companies."
