许宗衡：深圳竞争力不会减弱

The competition power of Shenzhen won 't weaken

许宗衡表示，今年深圳仅682家工厂倒闭就导致5万人失业。

Mr Xu says 682 factory closures alone have claimed 50000 jobs this year in Shenzhen .

中国南方新兴城市深圳市市长许宗衡上周抱怨称，深圳饱受交通拥堵和空气污染的困扰。

The mayor of Shenzhen yesterday bemoaned the fact that the southern boom town was plagued with traffic jams and pollution .

许宗衡失踪至少三天后，官方的新华社才发布一条短新闻，确认他已被带走。

Mr Xu went missing at least three days before his detention was confirmed by a brief dispatch from the official Xinhua news agency .

许宗衡补充称：“即便没有金融危机，工厂也会倒闭，许多企业倒闭是因为它们管理不善。”

" Closures happen even without a financial crisis , " he adds . " Many of the companies closed because they had poor management . "

当邻近香港的商业城市深圳市市长许宗衡6月份因涉嫌腐败被罢免时，该案的很多情节人们都很熟悉。

When the mayor of Shenzhen , the commercial city bordering Hong Kong , was sacked in June for alleged corruption , much about the case was familiar .

王荣一方面呼吁媒体和公众加大对官员腐败的监督力度，另一方面也发出了一个警告。他的警告针对那些把许宗衡被羁押与其它案件联系起来的人。

Mr Wang also hedged his call for greater media and public scrutiny of official corruption with a warning to those who have linked Mr Xu 's detention to other cases .

在他发表该评论的前一天，中国最大的出口中心深圳市市长许宗衡表示，今年以来深圳共有682家工厂关闭或停产，使5万人下岗。

His comments came a day after the mayor of Shenzhen , China 's largest export centre , said factory closures had claimed 50,000 jobs in the city so far this year after 682 factories closed or stopped production .

许宗衡还表示，他平均每周主持召开一次经济形势分析会议，过去这通常是由副市长主持的，其目的就是简化程序，为在深圳运营的公司降低税赋、减少行政费用。

Mr Xu also noted that he had assumed leadership of a weekly economic analysis meeting , normally chaired by a vice-mayor , in an effort to cut red tape , lower taxes and reduce administrative fees for companies operating in the city .

许宗衡同时指出，即便没有金融危机，每年也会有一部分企业会被淘汰。他没有提供去年工厂倒闭和工人失业的比较数据，但保证将帮助工人和出口企业渡过当前这场危机。

Mr Xu , who also noted that closures happen even without a financial crisis , did not provide comparative figures for factory closures and worker lay-offs last year . But he did promise to help workers and exporters navigate the current crisis .
