Well, that's exactly the point of making "Special Economic Zones" - to get around all the common obstacles to big profits, such as environmental rules and assessments, labour rights, taxes, etc. The object of Business is to privatize profits while socializing expenses. A good government which supports Business will act like the Lord Mayor of London, whose Duty is to "open doors for business at all levels." And why do many business parks fail? They fail to include all the necessary sub-trades that support the main business activities. And with high entrance requirements, this outcome is guaranteed. And an SEZ that is just exporting is simply a no-rules port facility.
