China'S Reform And Opening Up: Drums For 30 Years

2008 is the thirtieth year of China's reform and opening up. This year will be a landmark year for our garment industry. In this extraordinary year, we are thinking about the way of future development.

History is a continuation. Following the invisible natural law and development vein, we might as well follow the road of reform and opening up for 30 years to review the past of the clothing industry, and find some clues of its development rules, and sort out the development lines of historical development, which may be able to set the clouds for the future.

After 30 years of reform and opening up, China's clothing industry has produced vivid and wonderful change stories, witnessing the development and historical changes of the country.

In the past 30 years, the total output of clothing in China has increased by 53 times, the export amount has increased by 163 times, excluding the exchange rate factor has increased 721 times, and the per capita fiber consumption has increased 5 times, which has made great contributions to increasing foreign exchange reserves, stimulating domestic demand and solving employment.

However, when did China become the largest producer and exporter of clothing in the world?

When did China's main garment producing area change from "the vast blue sky" to "Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangzhou min Shan"?

When did Chinese fashion go to Paris fashion T?

When did China's clothing consumer market become the focus of the global clothing brand?

The wind of reform and opening up has awakened the land of China. China's garment industry has jumped out of the monotonous color of "gray, black, blue, green and white" and has grown in color.

People who have just lifted the shackles of the mind can not wait to find clothes that can express themselves, creating conditions for the industry to start.

These 10 years are the preparatory period for China's garment industry to embark on the fast track of development. Although it is still in the planned economic system, the state has made preparations for the pition to a market economy in terms of economic policies, market environment and resource allocation.

In 1984, the Communist Party of China set up the target of "socialist planned commodity economy" in the third Plenary Session of the 12th CPC Central Committee.

In 1984, the Ministry of textile industry proposed the development of three pillar products of textile, clothing, decorative textiles and industrial textiles. In the same year, the China Garment Industry Corporation was established and began to manage the industry.

This period is limited to resource shortage, backward technology and other reasons, China's clothing production can not achieve rapid growth, an increase of 2.5 times (see Table 1).

This is not a very striking number, but foreshadowed the future development.
