Interpretation Of The "Turning Point" Of Spring In Textile Industry

Where does the crisis start, and where can it end?

The information provided by the times business daily today "Liaoning textile industry or usher in" Warm Yang "shows that in 2008, the global financial crisis had a huge impact on Liaoning's textile enterprises. The export oriented textile industry in Liaoning, including Yingkou textile industrial base, Dalian famous textile enterprises, Anshan Haicheng Textile Industrial Park and other places, had a very thin day.

In 2008, Liaoning textile exports amounted to 3 billion 803 million US dollars, an increase of 8.6% over the same period last year, an increase of 6 percentage points lower than that in 2007.

However, although the cold is still, but the textile industry more voice is the "turning point" of spring.

The latest statistics from Dalian Customs show that in the first month of 2009, Liaoning exported 370 million US dollars of textile and clothing, an increase of 10% (10.8%) over the same period last year.

We attach great importance to the positive signals from the textile industry, not only because the "growth guarantee" needs the textile industry to take the lead in revitalization, but at the same time, we also know that the textile industry has always been a pillar industry of China's national economy and an important livelihood industry. It is also an obvious industry of international competitive advantage.

Although Liaoning is famous for its heavy industry, the textile industry is a labor-intensive industry. It absorbs a large number of labor force employment. At the same time, the textile industry is one of the main industries for foreign exchange earning. It is the second place in the Liaoning export proportion after the mechanical and electrical industry for several years.

In view of this, in recent two years, the governments of Liaoning and Shenyang have given some financial support to the restructuring of Liaoning textile and garment enterprises.

On February 4th, Premier Wen Jiabao chaired a State Council executive meeting to deliberate and adopt the adjustment and revitalization plan of textile industry and equipment manufacturing industry in principle.

This conclusion, in a word, helped us to clear up the hesitant development thinking in time, and pointed out the specific direction of work for us to see and immediately start the revitalization of Liaoning's textile industry.

Next, textile enterprises should co-ordinate the two international and domestic markets, strengthen technological pformation and build their own brands. What the government needs to do is to help enterprises speed up the elimination of backward production capacity, optimize the regional layout of the textile industry, increase fiscal and taxation policies and support the textile industry, and strive to complete the historic pformation process of textile industry from big to strong as soon as possible.

In March 9th, the world's Bobbi doll will usher in her 50 year old birthday.

Bobbi, the former chief designer of the Mattel Inc (the manufacturer of dolls of Bobbi), commented on the fashion empire of Bobbi's brand: "we need more cattle than any other garment manufacturer in the world."

We have 1 billion 300 million rich Chinese people. If our textile enterprises are modeled on the manufacturers of Bobbi dolls, how big can we create the market? Can the industry's own judge it?
