Thousands Of Small And Medium-Sized Enterprises Closed Down In Exchange For The Optimization Of Footwear And Other Industries, Is It Worth It?

On January 30, the low temperature that has lasted for several days has covered the Pearl River Delta with a layer of gray haze. At 11:00 a.m., the reporter came to Nanhai, Foshan for the fourth time, and the area near Shaxi, Huangqi, which is known as "Guangdong toy village". "Since the end of last year, some of the smaller factories have been gradually deserted." One local resident said. It was once a factory full of toys, shoes, ceramics, glass and other processing and manufacturing factories, and also a typical concentration of processing and manufacturing industry in the Pearl River Delta region. In fact, in the whole Pearl River Delta, the signs of this killing are quite obvious. However, Guangdong did not appear too much anxiety about this. Guangdong provincial government, many industry associations and so on, even began to publicly high-profile support the Pearl River Delta processing and manufacturing industry relocation. Behind this is the pressure of local governments to save energy and reduce emissions. New considerations on energy conservation and emission reduction in Guangdong Province, Huang Huahua, deputy secretary of the provincial Party committee and governor of Guangdong Province, pointed out in his speech that it is necessary to actively promote the transformation and upgrading of processing trade and guide the gradient transfer of processing trade. At the second plenary session of the 10th Guangdong provincial Party Committee earlier, governor Huang Huahua publicly criticized some local governments in the province for setting up obstacles to hinder the transfer of enterprises in the Pearl River Delta. According to the analysis of relevant personage of Foshan municipal government, the current wave of outward migration can actually be understood as the adjustment of industrial structure optimization. Most of the enterprises relocated belong to enterprises with high energy consumption, high pollution and low output. It is understood that in 2008, Guangdong will become the first province to bring green GDP into the performance evaluation of cadres. Obviously, the high-profile initiative of Guangdong Province to promote industrial transfer is more out of the consideration of implementing the scientific development concept proposed by the central government and reducing the pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction. In recent years, many industries in the Pearl River Delta, especially those with high or low energy consumption, have been forced to phase out from the central and local governments in recent years. "At present, in the face of the possible economic downturn in the international market, the tightening of consumption, the appreciation of the RMB, and the rise in employment costs (adjustment of social security), there are indeed many enterprises facing major challenges, especially some small and medium-sized enterprises that accept odd bills." Guo Weiwen, person in charge of Wanbang shoes company and Secretary General of Guangdong anti dumping alliance, told reporters, "but what really affects enterprises is the attitude of the state, that is, the policy of processing trade." "We believe that human resources can still be guaranteed, but the mobility of personnel is greater than ever before." Guo Weiwen believes that "after all, most enterprises do not want to change the new environment. However, once the national government policies no longer or significantly reduce the support for the processing and manufacturing industries, this will be the most important reason for these industries to move out or close down. " "Industrialization without technology" has been tested again. However, this is only the beginning. At present, Foshan Nanhai has released the opinions on strengthening energy conservation, emission reduction and pollution control, which highlights the determination of the local government to promote energy conservation and emission reduction. Feng Yongkang, deputy director of Nanhai District, told reporters that since 2007, for four consecutive years, the energy consumption reduction rate of 10000 yuan GDP in the South China Sea will reach 4.61%. By the end of 2008, the energy consumption per unit GDP of the whole region will drop to 0.90 tons of standard coal / 10000 yuan, and the chemical oxygen demand and sulfur dioxide emission will be controlled within 11100 tons and 36100 tons respectively. This means that the ceramic and glass processing enterprises in Nanhai District will face severe challenges. In other words, these enterprises must consider the choice of transferring or going bankrupt on their own in the face of pressing policies. In fact, at present, the Pearl River Delta is stepping into a transition period after rapid growth, and the existing growth mode is obviously difficult to maintain for a long time. On the one hand, the vast majority of foreign-funded enterprises, which account for nearly 2 / 3 of the industrial output value of the whole province, are engaged in labor-intensive processing industries. Under the constraints of resources and environment, these processing industries, which once contributed to the economic development of Guangdong Province, have become a problem hindering the upgrading of industries in the Pearl River Delta region. On the other hand, the Pearl River delta industry lacks technology content. In view of the above problems, Lu Kaiyin, vice president of Guangdong Institute of socialism, believes that "there is no doubt that the Pearl River Delta region is in the turning point of rapid industrialization development, and" unskilled industrialization "is facing a structural adjustment. If it is not transformed and upgraded in time, it will no longer be able to support the synchronous growth of the scale and profits of labor-intensive processing industry." Obviously, industrial upgrading and independent innovation are the key to the next round of economic development in the Pearl River Delta region. "It is necessary to shift the economic growth of Pearl River Delta from low-cost manufacturing industry to high-tech intensive manufacturing industry, and shift the focus from low-cost manufacturing industry to intensive manufacturing industry." Lu Kaiyin thinks that. "It is conservatively estimated that in the past two months, at least 1000 small and medium-sized enterprises in Guangdong have closed down." "But I think it's a process of survival of the fittest. After these smaller enterprises close down, in another way, it will also provide temporary relief for the remaining enterprises, and the whole industry will be optimized and adjusted," Guo said
