Overview: China's Chemical Parks
-
Since the strict inspection of environmental protection and frequent chemical accidents, various regions in China have carried out comprehensive rectification on all chemical industry parks and chemical enterprises within their jurisdiction. For example, Yancheng in Jiangsu Province is going to eliminate all chemical zones in the region, and Jiangsu Province requires the number of chemical industry parks to be reduced to 20. Henan Province halts the approval of building new chemical industrial parks, chemical projects, etc. China is almost shadowed by the aftermath of chemical accidents.ENTER
