Abstract

At present, China’s economy developes very quickly and displays very bright future with the transformation of its development strategy from extensive production and management mode to the intensive one. There is no doubt that industrial relocation as a long-term task has all round meaning and strategic significance both in capital construction and industrial renewal and remake to achieve such a strategic transformation. In this paper, the authors gave a general study on the Chinese industrial relocation in the light of the theory of industrial location and relocation and discussed five types of industrial relocation concerning factory development in scale, site and organization in China: factory-expanding, factory-converting & renovating, factory-removing & migrating, industry-substituting in a region and trace-reutilization of a factory.
