During the past years, the provincial government of Guangdong has promoted industrial restructuring. It encourages the region to ‘empty the bird cage for new birds to settle down’. It is about eliminating old industries and introducing some advanced ones. The region aims to develop high-tech, capital-intensive and high-end manufacturing industries. Pharmaceutical, electronics, telecommunications, computers and other business machines will be the future core of Guangdong’s hi-tech manufacturing industry.
China is focusing its efforts on sustainable development after its economy has experienced a rapid growth over the last thirty years. To further promote sustainable development in the industrial sector, the Chinese government has provided funding and other resources to assist its capacity building, technology transfer, and information publication, etc. These efforts and assistance have led to many successful projects and significant achievements. The establishment of the Eco-industrial Park at Yinnashan, in Mei County is one of the examples.
