Wenling Fire Sequel Appealed For Public Safety Mechanism To Protect Shoes Enterprises

< p > Zhejiang is one of the most dynamic regions in China's private economy. Since the reform and opening up, many economic miracles have been born, and Yiwu, the world's largest small commodity distribution center, has been identified as the world's largest market by the international authorities such as the United Nations and the world bank.

It also breeds the Alibaba group, the largest SME network service provider in the world.

But in such a reform and opening up frontier, there is a wave of large-scale closure of small and medium a href= "http://www.91se91.com/" target= "_blank" > strong > shoes < /strong > /a.

According to the Wenling municipal government's work report, in 2012, the city's GDP reached 70 billion 590 million yuan, while the total output value of footwear industry in Wenling was 27 billion 980 million yuan, accounting for nearly 40%.

The shoe industry has always been a key supporting industry in Wenling. It is one of the eight pillar industries in Wenling, which is equivalent to automobile and motorcycle fittings, aquatic products, ship repair and construction, plastic building materials, tools and machine tools, and kitchen and household appliances.

Wenling has also been awarded various honorary titles such as "Zhejiang footwear industry professional zone", "China's footwear export base", "China's shoe industry", "China's footwear (sports shoes) export base" and so on.

According to media reports, the number of shoe closures has reached 4559, accounting for almost 76% of the more than 6000 shoe enterprises in Wenling. Because of a big fire, so many shoe companies are closing down, such a high proportion, and so high efficiency that we have to think too much about this.

According to the statistics of Wenling shoe and leather industry association, the output value of Wenling footwear industry increased by only 0.35% in the year to 2012, the lowest in thirty years, and the sales volume was 26 billion 600 million yuan, basically keeping the level of 2011.

This shows that the local footwear industry is facing a very serious pformation and upgrading of the road, over the years, the local government has taken many measures to upgrade, but has not been able to solve the small and medium-sized shoe enterprises safety production problems.

Most of the shoe companies in Wenling are still in the low value-added manufacturing stage, and the fate of the enterprises is closely tied to the brand owners.

When the market is booming, it is only a small processing fee; and when the market is in a stormy way, it becomes the biggest loss buyer.

< p > although local shoe enterprises have problems such as vicious competition, low-end brand, shortage of talents, hidden dangers of safety and so on, and breed a series of contradictions such as environment, labor and capital, social management and so on, large-scale shutting down behavior still has the suspicion of breaking the bridge and shirking responsibility. Some experts point out that because of safety regulation, it is compulsory to shut down the small and thin shoe enterprises and give people a sense of choking.

A lot of small and medium sized shoes enterprises basically bring together a family's labor force, which is the backbone of the whole family's survival.

The government should make more efforts and work for the pformation and upgrading of small and medium-sized shoe enterprises on policy support and financial services, rather than a rough one.

Even if the small and medium-sized shoe enterprises are in the low end of the manufacturing industry, they should not be disliked. What the government can do is to actively extend more help to these small and medium-sized enterprises in distress, but not because they are not well managed, and avoid the responsibility that they take so as to trigger mass incidents and affect the harmony and stability of the society.

< p > indeed, facing the complicated international and domestic situation, China's economy is at a critical stage of pformation and upgrading. As a developed eastern region, the task of pformation and upgrading is more arduous.

It is understood that, because of this storm, part of the eastern coastal small and medium-sized footwear manufacturing enterprises began to move to build factories. Wenling is only a microcosm of such measures taken by the eastern developed areas in terms of economic pformation and upgrading. How to design a public safety management mechanism acceptable to all stakeholders to promote the pformation and upgrading of enterprises under market regulation, rather than blindly "despise" low-end manufacturing industry, is a test of the wisdom of local governments.
