The textile industry should be transformed into a specialized diversification

During the economic group discussion held at the 5th session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the members made suggestions on the current transformation of the textile industry. Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and General Manager Kim Pei-hua of Shanghai Peremone Co., Ltd. said in a panel discussion that the product design of China's textile industry is generally in a first-tier city like Shanghai, and it is processed in other places for national sales. At present, the reason why there is no long-established, high-quality state-owned clothing brand in China is that the textile industry is mostly a labor-intensive industry, with emphasis on quantity and no quality improvement. Some bosses who make money in the textile industry are often willing to switch to investment industries such as finance and real estate, and there are fewer and fewer bosses who really strive for excellence in the textile industry.

In addition, Jin Jianhua said that at present, many textile mills can not do the main reasons for rising raw material prices year after year, the cost of a sharp increase. Secondly, the rising cost of labor has caused workers to be afraid of seeing their employers and fear of being laid off. Now it is the reverse. The boss is afraid of seeing workers and is afraid that workers will resign. At present, labor costs are high, including the dormitory environment and supporting facilities. In addition, the labor-intensive industry also finds that there is no relationship between people and some migrant workers. Many people think that these industries have not developed. This must be changed from the concept. If the factory can't recruit people, it will cause the output to drop or even shut down, and the export will decline.

Jin Jianhua suggested that it is now necessary to handle the three contradictions. First, the contradiction between the service industry and the manufacturing industry is due to the difference in the development basis and historical origin. Therefore, it is necessary to have a correct matching ratio. The upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the serious pollution in the textile industry are main problem.

Second, to deal with the relationship between output and quality, we must work hard on the quality of products. For example, the men's fashion abroad Zegna brand has developed very well. The CEOs of Zegna once told me that their total output was not large. Some of the long-established clothing brands in foreign countries are pursuing brand stories and have a strong cultural atmosphere. And our textile and garment factories give foreigners the feeling that British people like Americans, like upstarts. Therefore, there is an urgent need for transformation to improve the quality of the textile industry and develop brand culture.

Third, the relationship between specialization and diversification, there are many categories of textile and apparel subdivision, and now there are more than 100,000 garment factories across the country, but few can find the subdivision of categories, and the production of small, quality-seeking companies.

Yang Minde, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Deputy Director of the Hong Kong Esquel Group’s board of directors, said: “With foreign technology occupying the market, we can rely on technology to dominate the market. Take a white shirt as an example. Previous fabrics were made of pulp and artificial fibers. Just dressed in the morning, it may turn yellow in the afternoon, but now, using nanotechnology, the raw material is high-quality cotton in Xinjiang, to avoid the yellow shirt, which has a direct relationship with technology.”

In addition, Yang Minde also believes that the traditional industries like the textile industry should be transformed. The traditional manufacturing competitiveness still depends on the cheap labor force, and labor-intensive industries have great influence on migrant workers.
