Title: China's Industrial Development under the Binding of Resource and Environment
Abstract: China's industrial development under the binding of resource and environment is more obvious comparing with other countries in the world. Population and natural resource are not absolutely obstacles to China's industrial development, and China's resource circumstance has its relative advantages, especially in the way of the total volume and variety. However, China is not a country with rich resources, large population and low per capita of resource are basic circumstance. Relying on over consuming energy pushes forward China's high economic growth, but at the same time it made China's economic growth close to binding boundary of resource and environment. The volume of reserves, investment, production capacity (including transportation), price (mechanism and endurance) are the four elementary problems of industrial resources, among with prices of various resources are the key problems of supply and demand. The risk of shortage of industrial resources is facing China currently and for the future, problems are first price, second production capacity and third natural reserves. From historical view, the balance between industrial development and environment quality should be combined idealism with realism. The most fundamental factor is that industrialization is a process of market competition based on efficiency and is an international, global competition. Competitiveness is in the final analysis conditioned by effective criterion of existence, development and environment. Industrial system or industrial sector in one country realized the transformation from consumption resource technology into resource save technology is namely as change of competitiveness. If China realizes sudden change of competitiveness as a developing country, the meaning is under the governance criterion of social identification (including international society) up to developed countries, realizing resource-save technology will be more competitiveness of industrial technology progress comparing with resource-consumption technology under the non-discrimination of market competition.
