 China in the development of the textile industry can not ignore the advantages

From the 1990s to the present, China's textile industry has made great strides in development, with textile and apparel exports accounting for more than one-third of total global exports, and is the world's number one country in textile and apparel manufacturing and exports. In this process, the textile industry has experienced a difficult journey, the implementation of the cotton textile spindle press policy in the 1990s, similar to today's supply-side structural reform, or the exploration and practice of supply-side structural reform.

Textile and garment industry is an important advantageous industry in China. 2001 after China's accession to the WTO, a fundamental reversal of demand in the textile industry, China's cotton spindle increased by three times in 15 years, the textile and garment industry ushered in a historic rapid development, when the logic of overcapacity was caught in an embarrassment, the implementation of the spindle pressure policy has emerged some new discussions. Total control policy, industrial assistance policy, and industrial regional policy, etc., how to develop and implement under the conditions of globalization have become topics that need further discussion.

According to data from the fourth national economic census released at the end of 2019, in both manufacturing and wholesale and retail sectors, the textile and apparel industry has 1.21 million legal entities with assets of 9.37 trillion yuan. business revenue in 2018 reached 12.7 trillion yuan, more than 14% of China's total GDP in that year, making it the second largest industrial sector in China after the electronics and information industry.

With as many as 15.636 million people directly employed by legal entities in the textile and apparel industry, plus individual entrepreneurs and cotton farmers in the agricultural sector, it is estimated that the industry directly employs 25 million people, directly affecting the livelihoods of about 20 million families, or 80 to 100 million people.

During the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year, various topics involving the development of people's livelihoods frequently hit the airwaves and resonated with everyone. Chen Lifen, a representative of the National People's Congress, proposed to further create a new advantage in international competition in industrial textiles. She suggested that in order to improve the relevant policy measures to guide and support the development of industrial textiles industry, one is to enhance the status of industrial textiles in the industry classification, the second is to set up a national technical committee for industrial textiles standardization, and the third is to set up a national manufacturing innovation center for industrial textiles.

In fact, as a component of strategic new materials, industrial textiles have become one of the most dynamic areas of China's industrial system, in the double-cycle development pattern highlights the huge development space. In the future, the textile industry needs to face the problem of rising factor costs and competitive advantage decay, overcapacity will gradually come to the fore, in order to ensure stable employment and maintain China's overall industrial advantage, it is necessary to study the relevant policies and measures under the new situation.

The metropolitan area also needs urban industry

In the core circle of the metropolitan area, various types of industries and productive services that can better meet the needs of urban life exist in various forms. Although the pace of transformation of traditional manufacturing industry continues to advance and the service economy continues to develop, urban industry still occupies a place in the urban economy.

Due to historical reasons, China's large cities are distributed in the "large-scale" traditional manufacturing industry, the product technology content of such enterprises is not high, but the number of employees, covering a large area. Take Shanghai textile industry as an example: at the end of 1991, 494 state-owned textile and garment enterprises in Shanghai, 535,000 employees, 280,000 retired workers, factories covering an area of 8.18 million square meters, the original value of fixed assets of 7.5 billion yuan, cotton spinning capacity of 2.41 million spindles, the number of employees more than 10,000 enterprises have several. With urbanization entering a mature stage, and the emergence of alternative industries with better benefits, these spinning spindles are actually difficult to survive in downtown Shanghai.

With the deepening of the industrial structure adjustment in the central city, the proportion of tertiary industry in the total economic output is increasing, and the radiation function of the central city is becoming more and more prominent. The evolution of the urban industrial structure, on the one hand, requires the traditional manufacturing industry to take the initiative to implement withdrawal and contraction; on the other hand, urban industry needs to improve the level of technology to achieve the upgrading of industrial structure. In addition, urban industries that adapt to the rapid changes in the market also have room for survival.

New York garment manufacturing industry is no longer in full bloom

New York's existing industrial structure, although the proportion of manufacturing is not high, but still retain the typical urban industries such as clothing, printing and food. Among them, apparel processing accounts for about 1/3 of the total value added and employment in the manufacturing industry, and mainly produces high-end brands and luxury brands of clothing, making New York maintain its leading position in the global fashion industry that never fails.

The New York garment processing industry is still attractive for investment, garment processing was once one of the most representative manufacturing industries in New York, which has long provided tens of thousands of jobs for New York.

Since entering the 21st century, the U.S. textile and apparel industry has undergone structural adjustment under the competitive pressure of China and other developing countries, and the industrial development has shown many features such as brand product differentiation, enterprise scale miniaturization, production technology flexibility and trade policy liberalization. At the same time, due to the globalization of the industry chain and the rapid development of offshoring business, the scale of the domestic apparel manufacturing industry in the United States shrank to a certain extent in the first 10 years of the new century, and the New York apparel manufacturing industry is no longer in its prime.

With the vigorous implementation of the U.S. manufacturing return strategy, the New York apparel industry has shown more obvious signs of return. Data show that in 2016, the New York garment manufacturing industry fixed asset investment reached more than $300 million, an increase of 5% over 2013; the industry-wide output reached $12.5 billion in 2017, the first growth since 1998. U.S. apparel companies, including Brooks Brothers, American Giant and Karen Kane, have increased their share of "back-to-shore" sourcing of local apparel manufacturing, mainly due to rising costs overseas, better quality The main reasons include rising costs overseas, better quality control, more flexible production organization, and shorter lead times. To some extent, these strategies have given U.S. apparel manufacturing a greater competitive advantage in the high-end brand segment.
