Is the strong response of Jiangsu's chemical renovation plan to compensate for the loss of sheep or

In the "Emergency Notice on Requesting the Opinions of Jiangsu Province Chemical Industry Regulation and Promotion Plan (Draft)" issued by the General Office of Jiangsu Provincial People's Government on April 1st, there is a description of the plan to drastically reduce chemical production enterprises within 1 km along the main and tributaries of the Yangtze River, in environmentally sensitive areas, in densely populated urban areas, outside chemical parks and below the scale. Specific measures include reducing the number of chemical production enterprises to 2000 by the end of 2020. By 2022, the number of chemical production enterprises in the province will not exceed 1000.

At present, this scheme is still in the research stage, but it has caused a great disturbance in Jiangsu Province and even in the whole country.



According to the information provided by Jiangsu Chemical Industry Association, by the end of 2018, there were 4280 chemical enterprises in Jiangsu Province. The main business income of chemical industry was more than 200 billion yuan, ranking second in the country.



Qin Zhiqiang, chairman of Jiangsu Chemical Industry Association, said in an interview with reporters on April 9 that if this plan was introduced, it would mean that 2 280 chemical enterprises would be cut down in less than two years from this year to the end of 2020, and another half of enterprises with a certain scale would be cut down from 2020 to 2022.



In addition, according to the Plan, it is proposed to reduce the number of chemical production enterprises along the Yangtze River, prohibit the construction and expansion of petrochemical and coal chemical projects along the Yangtze River, and strictly prohibit the construction and expansion of chemical parks and chemical projects within 1 km of the main and tributary of the Yangtze River. Qin Zhiqiang said: & ldquo; Now there are some very good enterprises along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, once the existing ones cannot be allowed to exist. New projects in enterprises are like killing these good enterprises. This kind of approach is very inappropriate, regardless of the market rules and the need for sustained and healthy development of the industry --- lsquo; one-size-fits-all --- rsquo. Xiangshui & lsquo; 3 & middot; 21 & rsquo; After a particularly serious explosion accident, the Yancheng government announced that it would completely close the Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park, and absurdly proposed to support the construction of various regions & lsquo; Wuhua District & rsquo;. Governments at all levels have also launched a series of intensive measures to improve and rectify the industry. We hope that these measures should be conducive to the healthy development of the industry-lsquo; repairing the dead sheep-rsquo; rather than unrealistic-lsquo; slaughtering sheep-rsquo;. & rdquo;



In addition, the plan also puts forward “ chemical industry parks or from 50 to 20 ” & ldquo; improve the industry access threshold. Enhance industry access threshold from planning, investment, technology, quality, safety, environmental protection, energy consumption, land use and other aspects. In principle, the investment of new chemical projects is not less than 1 billion yuan. & rdquo;



Many enterprises are worried about this. Some business leaders said that in recent years, Jiangsu Province for chemical enterprises in turn to rectify, to a certain extent, conducive to the transformation and upgrading of the industry, but this practice is unacceptable to enterprises. On the one hand, the park does need to be upgraded, but reducing the number is not a problem-oriented, some good parks and excellent enterprises in the park will suffer a lot. In this way, the market has to withdraw from the market, and the advantageous enterprises will lose their advantages.



On the other hand, the investment of new projects should not be less than 1 billion yuan, while the investment of fine chemical projects often does not need 1 billion yuan at all. He was more worried that this would limit the investment and development of fine chemical projects. & Fine chemicals involve sophisticated technologies, equipment and new materials. If they are monopolized by foreign capital, they will probably be subject to the same restrictions as the chip industry in the future. & rdquo; the head of the enterprise said helplessly.



& The strong response of the industry has attracted great attention of the provincial government of Jiangsu Provincial Committee. On April 8, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee held a meeting to emphasize the need for classified measures to systematically promote the renovation and upgrading of the chemical industry in the province. & rdquo; Qin Zhiqiang said.
