| Abstract: | SHAOXING, with its 80,000 manufacturing enterprises, is well known in the Yangtze River Delta area for its strong manufacturing capacity.Township enterprises laid the foundation for industrial development two decades ago, but the disadvantages of small rural enterprises, like low production capacity and quality and low standards of technology,soon emerged. In order to advance industrial development, in the late 1990s the Shaoxing municipal government decided to build the Township Industrial Zone. In the following five years, several industrial parks opened in Shaoxing. |
