The petrochemical industry is united. In response to the Kaohsiung Taishe industrial park degradation case, the Labor Self-Help Association will launch a parade of 10,000 people tomorrow (26) to petition the Kaohsiung city government to strive for a buffer period for the relocation of the factory. Cao Mingjin, president of the Petrochemical Association, said on the 25th that the petrochemical industry chain is actually a group of supporting facilities. It is concerned that the degradation of the Taishe Industrial Zone could trigger a butterfly effect and cause a “broken chain crisis”.

Cao Ming pointed out that there are 11 manufacturers and more than 4,000 employees in the Taishe industrial zone. Now, the government is suddenly demoting Taishe from a “special industrial zone” to a “type B industrial zone,” which is tantamount to breaking the livelihoods of related petrochemical companies. Because Type B industrial zone stipulates that there can be no chemical reactions, in the future, even if manufacturers want to upgrade to R&D bases or develop higher value, they will have no choice but to close the factory.

The scope of influence is not limited to the Taishe Industrial Zone itself, because the petrochemical industry chain is originally a group of supporting facilities. Losing the Taishe Industrial Zone is like losing a puzzle piece. For example, Guoqiao and TSRC, currently in Taiwan, only have factories in Taishe. And up to 60% of the petrochemical raw materials produced in the Taishe Industrial Zone are sold domestically. The big degraded news agency, the entire Kaohsiung petrochemical industry may be implicated.

Therefore, the Taishe Disqualified Workers’ Self-Saving Society will go to the Kaohsiung city government to hold a parade tomorrow to awaken the unity of the national petrochemical industry. As of yesterday, more than 8,000 copies of the signature have been received and tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets tomorrow. The Self-Rescue Society will present a petition tomorrow to fight for the right to work and survival, asking the government to grant a buffer period to first reduce the Taishe industrial zone to type A, not directly to type B, and then cooperate with Dalinpu or Kaohsiung Port Intercontinental of the Kaohsiung city government. The second phase of the green circular economy park plan will allow companies to connect and relocate their factories.

Chen Ruilong, president of Sinopec, who served as economy minister in the past, said that he has always wanted to promote the development of various new industries during his tenure as minister. However, developing new industries takes time and risks. They may not be successful, so they cannot be casually discarded. Ancient industry. In particular, the petrochemical industry is the basic industry of all industries, including TSMC. Many industries depend on the petrochemical industry and should not just give up.

According to Wu Zaiyi, dean of the Taiwan Research Institute, China’s petrochemical industry is mainly made up of two main systems, Kaohsiung and Yunlin Mailiao, and the petrochemical industry accounts for 11.08% of total domestic manufacturing output. The most that should not be overlooked is the driving effect of the national petrochemical industry on other industries. The impact on downstream is 4.9 and upstream is 1.65, ranking first among all industries. The petrochemical industry has a considerable impact on the overall economy. .
