In March 2020, the General Office of the Hunan Provincial Government issued the "Implementation Plan for the Relocation and Transformation of Chemical Enterprises along the Yangtze River in Hunan Province", which clearly stated that "in 2020, we will focus on shutting down and exiting outdated production capacity and chemical production enterprises that do not meet safety and environmental protection standards, and guide chemical production enterprises to relocate to 1 km outside compliance Chemical Industry Park, steadfast to the end of 2025 to complete the relocation task of transformation "
