Recently, there are 2 kinds of good technologies to solve this
problem. One is SCF. Another is resin. Both of them are clear and
simple technology. However, it also will cause cost increase. But it
is worth for its good and clear effect.

We have to accepted that your words are same with some paper in USA.
However, We are doubt that did you visit China? Did you know some
farners in China?
If my uncle know what you said, he maybe are laughing at it. You know
china is a very big country. In many region, there isn't so much river
and river sludge. :-)
Although heavy metal problem is a fact, Your reason still is a
imagine. In fact, chinese farmer seldome plant herb, Most of them
grows in mountain. We named a kind of herb souced from a fixed
mountain region " DAO DI herb". It means that this region soil and
climate can grow good herb medicine. It is validated by many and many
patient and doctor. All of them formed more than houndred years. Not a
chinese farmer hope to plant and can plant.
For example, wolfberry, All chinese knew Ning Xia wolfberry is DAO DI
Herb. Even My uncle want to sell wolfberry, No one will purchase from
him. In accent time, Ning Xia wolfberry is contributed to Chinese
emperor. Now, wolfberry souced from other region would never get that
hornor.

China already knows this. It will require a cool century to rest those over-farmed lands and build up any real tilth again.

Further, there is no "due diligence" in developing quality control or C/As for products coming from China at this time. It is no wonder no one wants anything to do with products coming from China until they clean up their act.

Damage control, and literal cleanups are now going to take years before they have competitive products on the marketplace.
