Constraints in environment and resources during China´s industrial upgrading

Currently, there is no effective method in conducting research on the impact of environment and resources on China´s industrial upgrading without innovation of industrial structural classification. This paper make the industries into four classes based on industries status by K-mean cluster analysis; then evaluate the ranking of various industry sectors under resource & environment constraints by factor analysis, last, we use non-parametric estimation of the Kruskal-Wallis test to further analyze the resource and environmental constraints in the path of industrial upgrading. The results shows that environment & resources tend to improve during industrial upgrading, meanwhile, different guidelines and restrictions are needed for the four industrial levels.
