We must emphasize solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by small-scale industry. [China]
This article proposes that solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by small-scale industry managed by counties, communes and brigades and protecting the agricultural environment are new issues that must be emphasized during China's socioeconomic development. China has more than 1.4 million commune and brigade enterprises, which employ over 30 million people. Disadvantages of the small-scale enterprises include irrational distribution, poor technical equipment, bad management, and the lack of antipollution devices. It is suggested that the construction of factories must not be permitted upwind from cities and towns, in dense residential districts or water protection areas, or near scenic tourist spots, sanitariums, natural preserves, famous relics or hot springs. The development of small-scale industry should be integrated with the growth of cities, towns and villages through unified planning and rational distribution.
