Two Major Problems In The "Labor Pains" Period Of China'S Textile And Garment Industry

Recently, the China Textile Industry Association sponsored the "2007~2008 China Textile and garment enterprises' top 500 competitiveness" conference held in Shanghai.

Du Yuzhou, President of China Textile Industry Association, attended the press conference and delivered an important speech.

Xia Lingmin, Deputy Secretary General of the China Textile Industry Association and director of Statistics Center, released the "2007~2008 China Textile and garment enterprise competitiveness evaluation report".

The textile and garment enterprises' competitiveness evaluation activities have been held for many years by the China Textile Industry Association. The aim is to rely on authoritative statistics on the economic operation data of the industry, so that all the strong enterprises in the whole industry will have the opportunity to "fully display themselves" with data.

Practice shows that this activity has played an important role in promoting the technological innovation and brand building of enterprises.

China's textile and garment industry in 2008 is facing many disadvantages.

For this, should we be complaining or facing difficulties?

It is said that the textile and garment industry must be upgraded, otherwise there will be only one way to die.

But how to upgrade?

Raising the contribution rate of science and technology and the contribution rate of the brand is undoubtedly the only choice.

"The future is bright, the road is tortuous". The key is to face the positive and negative sides. How can our industries achieve the two contribution rates?

What is the age of China's textile and garment industry in 2008?

Continued appreciation of the renminbi and rising labor costs...

The industry called it "labor pains".

This is a "life test" facing the Chinese clothing industry. How should the answer be written?

How can it be done when writing?

This is what everyone in the clothing industry is now struggling for.

Since we do not need to be resentful, this era does not give us a harbinger of "labor pains". In fact, the textile and garment industry has always emphasized industrial upgrading.

In 2006, the textile industry "11th Five-Year" plan clearly pointed out that the development of the industry must emphasize the contribution rate of science and technology and the contribution rate of the brand.

Therefore, whether it is the mission entrusted by the times or the responsibility of the industry itself, it is destined to make the two contribution rate the most important note to speed up the upgrading of the textile and garment industry.

Interpretation of contribution rate of science and technology

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and they are important forces to promote the progress of human civilization, let alone for an industry.

Since ancient times, technology has contributed to our world with its own magic.

The first industrial revolution that took place in the middle of eighteenth Century is the most typical case.

Coincidentally, the opening of this industrial revolution was the most developed cotton spinning industry in the handicraft industry.

In 1733, a mechanic named Kay invented the flying shuttle, greatly improving the speed of weaving. In 1765, Weaver Hargreaves invented the "Jeanne spinning machine", so "spinning" entered the machine age which increased greatly in production.

Of course, the master of this industrial revolution is undoubtedly Watt's improvement of the steam engine. With this opportunity, human society can enter the machine power era of "factory instead of workshop and handicraft industry", and Britain has become the first industrial country in the world.

Later, whether the subsequent technological revolution of electricity (the second industrial revolution) or the third scientific and technological revolution marked by the extensive application of atomic energy, computers and so on, all demonstrated the important role of science and technology in human society.

History brings unspeakable sweet memories to the textile and garment industry, but the reality is the "bottleneck" that can not be suppressed for the time being.

Everyone knows the contribution rate of science and technology, but how to increase the contribution rate of science and technology?

Obviously, this is an unavoidable test question in the textile and garment industry.

Regarding this, Du Yuzhou, President of the China Textile Industry Association, believes that we must focus on implementing the technological contribution rate of upgrading the industry from the following two aspects: "arming the enterprises with the most advanced technology and increasing investment in R & D".

No doubt, this should become the heavy task of textile and garment industry at present. Therefore, the textile industry "11th Five-Year plan" put forward 28 special technology and 10 complete sets of equipment research tasks.

In the textile and garment enterprise competitiveness evaluation activities, science and technology input, new products, new technologies and new equipment and other items become an important indicator to measure the contribution rate of science and technology, and also an important link in the competitiveness evaluation system.
