Qian Zhiguang (former left one) accompanied Zhou Enlai (former left two) to field investigation in cotton growing area.

In 1953, after winning the national economic recovery, the state started large-scale economic construction.

The textile industry has entered a period of great development.

In the fall of this year, President Mao Zedong chaired a meeting in Zhongnanhai to discuss the development of the textile industry.

In August 10th, Qian made a report to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the basic situation of the textile industry and the deployment of future work.

Qian said in the report: "during the recovery period of the national economy, the textile industry has completed the recovery and initial pformation of the enterprises, and has made some progress in textile production.

In the future, the guiding principles and tasks of the textile industry are:

First, on the basis of continuously improving enterprise management, improving technological level and improving equipment, we should give full play to the potential strength of existing enterprises, increase production, improve quality and ensure people's living needs.

Second, according to the need and possibility, we should plan for the construction of new factories in the Chinese belly cotton area, and expand the foundation of the textile industry in the mainland.

Third, under the premise of ensuring the continuous growth of the proportion of socialist economy, we should correctly lead the private sector to develop state capitalism and gradually carry out socialist pformation to play its positive role.

In October 8th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China gave instructions:

(1) the central committee approves the current party group of the Ministry of textile industry.

(two) the supply of textiles is a major event related to the life of the whole nation. It is a major event that concerns the connection between the party and the government and the masses, especially with farmers.

Therefore, in concentrating our efforts on building heavy industries and continuing to work hard to develop the potential productivity of existing enterprises, we should pay early attention to the proper development of the textile industry.

According to the national demand for cotton cloth and the opinions of the Ministry of textile industry in the report, the Central Committee believes that in addition to developing the potential of existing enterprise equipment, the Central Committee should consider at least 5 years to increase at least 3 million spindles, including 500 thousand ingots, rather than 2 million 500 thousand spindles.

Only in this way can we basically meet the needs of the masses for cotton cloth.

For this reason, the Central Committee has instructed the Party group of the Ministry of textile industry to conscientiously and conscientiously study the five year construction plan and the annual construction progress plan of the textile industry according to the instructions of the Central Committee, and submit it to the Central Committee for approval after examination and approval by the State Planning Committee. At the same time, the textile industry department should actively step up efforts to strengthen the power of capital construction, especially the technical force, in order to meet the needs of the annual progress of the capital construction, and should actively and systematically train technicians and skilled workers in the existing enterprises to meet the needs of start-up production of new enterprises.

(three) satisfy the masses

(four) the state textile industry has made achievements in recent years in terms of equipment efficiency, productivity improvement, raw material saving and cost reduction.

In order to provide the people with cheap products and to accumulate more funds for the state, in order to ensure the continuous growth of the proportion of socialist economic components, the Ministry of textile industry should continue to make efforts to prevent and overcome complacency, conservative thoughts and some waste phenomena, strengthen the leadership of private textile enterprises, guide them to gradually embark on the path of state capitalism, and further improve the labor productivity of textile enterprises, and strive to increase production, improve quality and reduce costs.

The instructions of the CPC Central Committee fully demonstrated the position and role of the textile industry in the national economy, and pointed out the direction of the textile industry in the next few years.

The instructions require all departments concerned to cooperate with the textile industry departments to solve the related problems in textile production so as to speed up the development of China's textile industry and meet the needs of people's clothing and national construction.
