"**" Hot Discussion on Textile and Garment Industry

“At present, the textile industry has many problems. It is necessary to distinguish between issues that are caused by market competition and those that require the government to use tangible hands to build a fairer and more transparent market operation mechanism.” At the opening of this year, the hot topics discussed in this year's industry were focused on rising labor costs, hardships, high prices, cotton price fluctuations, tax deductions, energy conservation and emission reductions.

In response, Wang Tiankai, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, emphasized that in a new round of international resource allocation, a fair and transparent external economic environment and a healthy market competition mechanism are necessary for Chinese manufacturing industries including the textile industry. . The China Textile Industry Federation's “Spring Survey” sent eight comprehensive teams and several professional groups to investigate and study key textile industry clusters across the country, visited hundreds of companies, and organized several government, associations, and A forum for companies to participate in. From the survey results, the situation is basically stable, but the hidden dangers affecting the safe and smooth operation of the industry are also quite prominent.

Through investigation, we have found that not only a considerable proportion of international orders have begun to shift to Southeast Asian countries, but many domestic large-scale textile and garment companies have also begun to set up factories in Southeast Asia. This caused many people to question, the reason for this phenomenon is that China's textile and garment industry is gradually losing its competitive advantage? Or should it be blamed on the unfairness of the competitive environment?

The question of the gradual loss of China's textile and garment industry's competitiveness can be completely denied. China has the most complete and mature textile industry chain in the world, and it also has a large number of skilled workers. Part of the transfer of orders is a norm in the process of global resource allocation, but it can really replace China’s status in the international textile industry chain. Not yet appeared. Textile industry is the traditional pillar industry of China's national economy and an important civilian production industry. It is also an industry with obvious advantages in international competition. These three major positionings are established by the country on the premise of combining the long-term strategic goals of China’s economic development.

After more than 10 years of exploration, the China Textile Industry Federation has formed a set of effective working methods. It has formed a relatively strong cohesion and centripetal force in the textile and apparel industry in the country. On the basis of inheriting and developing, the China National Textile and Apparel Council should give better play to the role of the combined fleet, focusing on the improvement of systems, culture, resources, combing and team building, and advancing with the times to build the current industry and The enterprise service needs institutional system.

At present, the new round of institutional and cultural development of the Federation has started. Recently, the Federation is integrating various professional associations and related industrial clusters to jointly establish a statistical analysis institution and make close analysis of the industry to provide support for the basic work. A linkage mechanism between the Federation, local professional associations, and local governments will be further formed to explore a more effective channel and route of communication to jointly create conditions for the development of industry and enterprises. In terms of cultural construction, we will also base ourselves on the characteristics of the Federation and refine the proper spiritual core so that our team will be more united and more powerful. With regard to important work such as brand building, scientific and technological progress, and talent cultivation that will help our industry to be independent, the Federation will also fully accelerate and actively explore for the healthy and orderly development of industries and enterprises.
