Economy
Zhejiang is known as a manufacturing hub of China, and manufacturing is also driving the economy of Yuhuan. Yuhuan county is one of the most prosperous in the province. It is especially known for its production of valves (by, for instance China Yuhuan Mersbrass Co.), automobile parts, and furniture. However, probably the most well-known Yuhuanese brand is "Supor" by Zhejiang Supor Co., Ltd, a manufacturer of cookware.
Yuhuan Power Station is a large coal-fired power station with 4,000 MW output capacity. This makes it large both in Chinese and global standards. The station ended power shortages, but the locals are concerned about its influence on air quality.

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get “a good job,” but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“Everyone is always in favour of general economy and particular expenditure.”
—Anthony, Sir Eden (1897–1977)
