Learn from Wuxi lesson

The less developed areas should draw lessons from the price paid by others because of improper industrialization, says an article in Nanguo Morning News. The following is an excerpt:

Wuxi of Jiangsu Province, which suffered a shortage of drinking water in early June after algae contaminated Taihu Lake - its main source of drinking water, is now closing down hundreds of small factories that consume heavy energy or discharge waste.

On release of this news, Wuxi attracted numerous delegations from regions across the country. The delegations tried to convince owners, whose factories face closure, to invest in their regions.
