Rural industries and water pollution in China
Journal of Environmental Management, 2008Co-Authors: Mark Wang, Michael Webber, Brian Finlayson, Jon BarnettAbstract:Water pollution from small Rural industries is a serious problem throughout China. Over half of all river sections monitored for water quality are rated as being unsafe for human contact, and this pollution is estimated to cost several per cent of GDP. While China has some of the toughest environmental protection laws in the world, the implementation of these laws in Rural areas is not effective. This paper explains the reasons for this implementation gap. It argues that the factors that have underpinned the economic success of Rural Industry are precisely the same factors that cause water pollution from Rural Industry to remain such a serious problem in China. This means that the control of Rural water pollution is not simply a technical problem of designing a more appropriate governance system, or finding better policy instruments or more funding. Instead, solutions lie in changes in the model that underpins Rural development in China. © 2007.

from privatization to deindustrialization implications of chinese Rural Industry and the ownership debate revisited
World Development, 2015Co-Authors: Shaohua ZhanAbstract:This paper examines the evolution of Chinese Rural Industry since the Rural reform in the late 1970s and revisits the debate on the role of ownership. Based on a case study of W county in southern Jiangsu province as well as drawing on national data, the author shows that the community-based market dynamic had been a key factor in the expansion of Rural enterprises and that its weakening in recent years has led to the closing of village enterprises and deindustrialization of the countryside. Large-scale land expropriation, sponsored by local government, is the principal factor responsible for the change.

from local state corporatism to land revenue regime urbanization and the recent transition of Rural Industry in china
Journal of Agrarian Change, 2015Co-Authors: Shaohua ZhanAbstract:This paper examines the transition of Rural Industry in China, particularly changes in the recent decade following the privatization of collective enterprises. Based on fieldwork in a Jiangsu county and drawing on national data, the author shows that rapid urbanization has fundamentally altered the nature of Rural Industry, with previous village‐based Rural enterprises replaced by large industrial corporations and urban real estate. While urbanization seems to many an inevitable outcome of economic development, this paper argues and shows that the current form of urbanization in China has been driven by an unsustainable accumulation regime that prioritizes the needs of local revenue, real estate development and large capital at the expense of the previous broad‐based Rural Industry. This is thrown into sharp relief by comparing with the accumulation regime based on local state corporatism during the early reform period.

informality and Rural Industry rethinking the impacts of e commerce on Rural development in china
Journal of Rural Studies, 2020Co-Authors: Weicheng Tang, Jin ZhuAbstract:Abstract The adoption and diffusion of e-commerce in developing countries exerts a fundamental influence on economic growth and on people’s daily lives. The impacts of diffuse e-commerce platforms on Rural China are exemplified by the sharp increase in the number of ‘Taobao villages’. The Taobao village is regarded as an effective means of revitalising Rural areas and narrowing the Rural–urban gap by both academia and the government. However, our case study in Zeguo Town, Zhejiang Province demonstrates that such an attitude seems over-optimistic. Supported by document review and semi-structured interviews with local government officials, village cadres and entrepreneurs of leading enterprises and also small and medium-sized workshops, our study reveals that the rapid growth of the local footwear Industry in Zeguo Town is an outcome of the lowered capital barriers for entry brought through Taobao. In response to this rapid growth, migrants have flooded into the local Industry and started their own businesses. As a result, the cost of production elements such as industrial land and labour rose significantly, threatening the survival of cost-sensitive enterprises. As rational economic subjects, entrepreneurs’ pursuit of low-cost spaces and local farmers’ provision of vacant houses to entrepreneurs contributed to an e-commerce-induced informality. Many small and medium-sized shoemaking workshops and Taobao online shops penetrated surrounding Rural villages. E-commerce-induced informality not only challenged Rural governance but also undermined the operation of leading enterprises as new small enterprises disrupt the pricing of products, labour costs and even affect the reputation of local Industry. The current unregulated development and seemingly rapid growth only store up troubles in the future.
