"Watching Gilad drop hammer on TV is the most exciting moment for all Chinese people who are concerned about joining the WTO."

China

In July 11, 1995, China formally submitted an application for accession to the WTO. Since then, China's application has changed from "duplicate" to "WTO accession". In November 1999 and May 2000, China signed bilateral agreements with the United States and the European Union. In September 17, 2001, the eighteenth meeting of the WTO Chinese working group held a formal meeting and passed all the legal documents of China's accession to the WTO. In November 10, 2001, at the Fourth Ministerial Conference of WTO, held in Doha, it considered and approved the resolution of China's accession to WTO.

A month later, in December 11, 2001, China formally became a member of the WTO.

"Optimization" and "pition" after China's entry into WTO

After joining the WTO, China's textile and apparel industry has expanded its international market due to the loosening of export restrictions on China.

At the same time, after joining the WTO, as one of the industries with the highest degree of marketization, the institutional pformation of textile and garment industry is more eye-catching.

According to the data of China textile industry development report, China's textile and clothing exports amounted to US $61 billion 769 million in the second years after the entry into the WTO, which is nearly 16% of the same period last year, and the trade balance of US $47 billion 400 million, an increase of nearly 20% over the same period last year.

However, the "optimization" of the external environment is not achieved overnight. "According to the provisions of WTO, the quota restrictions on Chinese textiles by Member States are not cancelled at once, and at that time the world economy is in the doldrums, so the growth of China's textile and clothing exports was not too fast at that time."

Sun Huaibin said, "we really began to enjoy the opportunity to enter the WTO after 2006."

Data show that in 2001 ~2010, China's textile and clothing exports increased from 53 billion US dollars to US $212 billion, at a comparable rate, an increase of 1.78 times.

The first five years increased 1.22 times, and the latter five years increased by 80% under the influence of the global financial tsunami.

It can be seen that during the first one or two years of China's accession to the WTO, the export growth of China's textile industry is not eye-catching.

After China's accession to the WTO, China's economic system began to pform comprehensively.

As one of the industries with the highest degree of marketization, the system of textile industry ushered in a "pition".

Although China's textile industry has carried out the "ingot diversion" before entering the WTO, the market-oriented operation and operation of the enterprises are mostly after the entry into WTO.

Founded in 1895, Jiangsu Dasheng Group Co., Ltd. is a century old textile enterprise with symbolic significance in China.

In August 2004, the company held a staff congress to consider the restructuring plan of Jiangsu Dasheng Group Co., Ltd.

The company will implement the partial withdrawal of state capital and the diversification of investment entities. The state-owned shares will remain 60%, and the 40% share of non-state-owned shares will be pferred.

In November 29th of the same year, the company held its first shareholders' meeting, deliberating the adoption of the articles of association, and elected the first board of directors and board of supervisors, marking the basic completion of the company's market-oriented restructuring.

From the Istanbul declaration to 1 million balloons

"We have always been reluctant to call the export of Chinese textiles" blowout ".

"Blowout" is often an accident, and the rapid growth of China's textile exports is the result of free trade. It is a manifestation of the high level of competitiveness that has been suppressed for a long time.

At 12 noon on April 8, 2005, 1 million balloons rose from a park square in Brussels, Belgium.

This is not a joyous celebration, but a protest organized by the European Textile Manufacturers Association.

The banner hanging in the sky highlighted the theme of the activity - "refuse Chinese textiles".

Philip, chairman of the European Textile Manufacturers Association, explained to the media: "the 1 million balloons symbolize 1 million workers!" he accused China of "blowout" of textiles and clothing, which caused a heavy blow to the European textile industry, resulting in 1 million unemployed workers in Europe and 1 000 businesses.

He cited data from 1 to February 2005, indicating that only two months later, EU imports of China's textiles and clothing increased by 73% over the same period last year, and only one category of sweaters doubled 8 times.

"This is largely a trap set by European and American countries."

Sun Huaibin recalled the historical events of that year. "According to the agreement on textiles and clothing of the Uruguay round signed by WTO Member States, the textile quota system has been officially closed for decades since January 1, 2005, and the integration of textile trade has been realized.

However, during the ten years of pition, the EU and other major importers took unreasonable arrangements and excessive protection, and abolished the 70% tight product quotas to the last moment of integration, distorting the supply and demand relationship of global textiles, resulting in the rapid growth of China's exports in the short term.

"At that time, we had been opposed to the idea of blowout."

Sun Huaibin said that blowout is a production accident. In fact, the rapid growth of China's textile exports is the result of free trade. It is a manifestation of the long-term release of the highly suppressed competitiveness and can not be viewed by accident.

Despite the fact that China's textile industry is a result of trade liberalization in the global market, the Chinese government, industry associations and enterprises have made great efforts for free trade. However, the fact is that the trade frictions faced by Chinese textiles have increased dramatically after China's accession to the WTO.

As early as 2004, 115 industry organizations from 65 countries signed the "Istanbul declaration" and asked WTO to focus on the issue of Chinese textile exports after integration.

At the end of 2004, Turkey announced the implementation of safeguard measures for 42 categories of textiles and garments from China.

Subsequently, Argentina, Brazil, Egypt and Canada competed.

After the abolition of quotas, China and Europe and other developed countries are "frightened birds" in the face of the general export trend of China's textiles.

Quotas in the post quota era

After the abolition of quotas, China's textile trade frictions and exports rose at the same time. In order to safeguard the free trade system, China signed a memorandum with the European Union and the United States to limit the number of products.

"At that time, we stayed in Washington for more than half a month, and the US government agencies related to China's textile trade were visited by one department next to one department. As long as the US officials can be contacted, we are not going to lobbying."

Gao Yong, vice president and Secretary General of China Textile Industry Federation recalled.

In fact, this way of lobbying eventually worked.

Gao Yong said that there are two major interest groups in the United States, one is the textile manufacturer, their interests are indeed affected by Chinese products, the other is the buyers, who benefit from China's low quality products, while also benefiting from American consumers.

Therefore, through the "divide and rule" approach, we first affected the purchasers of the United States, and then used the political system of the two party competition to influence the policy making of the US authorities.

When dealing with trade restrictions between the EU and the United States, the Chinese government gradually formed a "disintegration" negotiation strategy in the "struggle".

Gao Yong said we should talk to the European Union first and try to reach an agreement with us before reaching an agreement with the United States.

Facts have proved that such a strategy has achieved substantial results: in June 2005, China and the European Union reached a memorandum of understanding about China's partial export of European textiles. 5 months later, after seven rounds of arduous negotiations, the two sides finally signed the memorandum of understanding on textiles and clothing trade.

The signing of the two memorandum on the one hand avoided the trade war between China and Europe and America, and achieved the result of mutual benefit.

On the other hand, it once again increased restrictions on China's textile exports and became quotas in the post quota era.

According to the Sino US memorandum, China will impose quantitative control on 21 kinds of textiles, such as cotton trousers, exported to the United States in December 31st January 1, 2006 ~2008.

According to the central European memorandum, China will take the initiative to restrict output of ten kinds of textiles, such as cotton, T-shirt and pullover, from the end of ~2007 in June 11, 2005. At the same time, the EU promised to use 242 terms to control Chinese textile products other than the ten kinds of textiles in 2005 ~2007, and to use 242 clauses to control all Chinese textiles in the 2008.

In 2005, China and Europe and the United States, there was a small interlude in many rounds of intense and serious trade negotiations that became the landmark event of the global textile industry that year: in the early hours of June 11th, at the end of the Sino European textile negotiations, the former Chinese Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai sent a gray Chinese Crocodile T-shirt made in China to EU Trade Commissioner Mandelson.

Financial crisis "shock wave"

The collapse of cotton and other textile raw materials is a manifestation of the global economic crisis affecting China's textile industry.

The crisis has led to a slump in market demand. On the one hand, a large number of orders from foreign export enterprises have been reduced. On the other hand, trade protectionism in various countries is on the rise.

Gao Yong said: "after joining the WTO, Chinese textiles were the first industry to benefit, and the biggest hit by trade protectionism."

"There is a very coincidence that from the time of China's accession to the WTO, almost every single year there will be some events that have a significant impact on China's textile industry."

Gao Yong said, "when China joined the WTO in 2001, the special safeguard case against Chinese textiles increased sharply in 2003, and the quota of textile exports was abolished in 2005. The international financial crisis broke out in 2007, and China entered the WTO 10th anniversary in 2011."

He said.

After China's entry into WTO, China's development is integrated into the global economy.

According to the Austria school's "business cycle" theory, economic prosperity has led to the extension of the industrial chain and the rapid expansion of the consumer goods industry, which is far from the consumer. Once the crisis breaks out, it will be followed by economic depression, and the price of producer goods will decrease first, and the price will fall sharply relative to the cost of living material.

According to this theory, people can understand the phenomenon of price collapse of cotton and other raw materials from another angle.

Since March 2010, cotton prices have been rising, once reaching 32000 yuan / ton, and after November, cotton prices suddenly dropped, and now lingered at 19000 yuan / ton.

At the same time, chemical fiber and other raw materials also maintained a similar track. According to Austria's "business cycle" theory, the collapse of cotton and other textile raw materials is a manifestation of the global economic crisis on China's textile industry.

The collapse of raw materials has a great impact on China's textile industry.

Jia Jinchang, director of Jiangsu San Fang Lane Group Co., Ltd. said: "facing such a huge fluctuation, China's textile industry has the possibility of reshuffling."

The financial crisis has led to a downturn in global market demand. On the one hand, a large number of export-oriented enterprises have reduced orders, and on the other hand, trade protectionism has risen in other countries.

"The more economic prosperity, the less trade friction, the more economic downturn, the more common and serious trade frictions."

Sun Huaibin said, "faced with the high unemployment rate and the sluggish economic situation, the trade surveys launched by western countries are often the means to divert domestic conflicts."

Getting familiar with WTO rules and safeguarding their interests through rational use is one of the gains of Chinese enterprises since joining the WTO.

In July 2009, the United States complained to the US Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission (VMC) than the Witkey ofre company, calling for anti-dumping and countervailing investigations on the narrow ribbon products originating from mainland China and Taiwan, China.

Xiamen Yao Ming Ribbon company involved $1 million 840 thousand and was selected by the United States as the two compulsory inquiry enterprise.

After receiving the notice, Yao Ming's weaving band was set up to respond to the group and actively responded. The company also allocated 2 million yuan as a special fund for litigation.

After nearly a year's efforts, in July 2010, the US Department of Commerce announced the results of the final ruling. Yao Ming's weaving belt was a great victory: in the anti-dumping cases, the "Yao Ming ribbon" received zero tariff; in countervailing cases, the lowest domestic tax rate was only 1.56%.

This case is the first "double reverse" survey launched by the United States on Chinese textiles. It is also the first stage of trade remedy measures taken by the United States to Chinese textiles after the abolition of textile quota.

"On the able, the flat gives the weak."

For any WTO member country, joining WTO is a process of "welcome to and send".

On the one hand, overseas enterprises in China "open up territory", on the other hand, Chinese enterprises can only "both inside and outside", to develop a new development path.

Since 2001, the market share of Bayer Limited has been expanding in China. In 2010, it increased by 30% compared with the previous year, and realized sales revenue of 2 billion 900 million euros, accounting for 20% of the global market share.

For any WTO member country, accession to WTO is a process of "welcome to and send".

When Chinese enterprises go abroad, China's market is becoming more open.

Ten years after joining the WTO, it is also the ten year for international textile and garment enterprises to "open up territory" in China. Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis, China's economy is thriving. The Chinese market has become the "Noah's Ark" of the international textile and garment enterprises.

"The impact of the financial crisis on domestic enterprises is absolute.

Zhang Daili, chairman of the red collar group, said, "the market economy is a fair economy.

On the able, the Peace allows the weak. "

The reason why the red collar group is so confident is that the company has gone out of a very distinctive way of development.

As early as 2005, red collar turned its business strategy to high-end MTM business.

In the production workshop of the company, the same production line is hung with semi finished products of different colors and sizes.

"It takes only three or four days from the next order to the delivery."

Zhang agent said.

At present, sales of red collar MTM business account for 30% of the total sales of the company, and profit accounts for nearly half of the total sales.

Zhang said that in the era of globalization, consumers are pursuing individualization. The custom business of clothing is undoubtedly a trend of future development.

"By 2015, the company's high-end customization business will reach 95%. By that time, the red collar will truly become the world's top MTM brand."

Zhang said, "now that consumers who experience the red collar MTM in New York, they will thumb their thumbs up when they mention the red collar, say Number One."
