Wang Tiankai: Textile Industry Need Not Be Too Pessimistic.

Wang Tiankai, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee and President of the China Textile Industry Federation, admitted that the textile industry should tighten up in the first half of the year, but not too pessimistic. The small and medium enterprises should set their own positions, be specialized, do fine and do special things.

Wang Tiankai also said that it is not against the textile enterprises to do some other industries to feed the main industry, but the hard won brands should not be easily abandoned.

The textile industry does not need to be too pessimistic in the first half of the year

Data show that textile and clothing exports in January fell 4.2% year on year, the first negative growth since the financial crisis.

In January, the sales volume of clothing sales in 100 key stores increased by 12.3% and negative 0.18% respectively, and the growth rate of sales in the fourth quarter of last year was 7.52 percentage points.

It should be said that from the two markets at home and abroad, the two situations are not very optimistic.

Wang Tiankai believes that "from the international market, the textile market has not improved significantly.

Textile exports will be tighter indeed.

The domestic demand market will be tighter in the first half of the year. But with the development of some policies and measures, consumer demand will not be very pessimistic.

Therefore, in the first half of this year, the industry needs to make tight preparations, but in the whole year, we should build up confidence and not be pessimistic to think how sad this year is.

"

Wang Tiankai believes that for textiles, the most important thing is to produce products that satisfy the needs of the market.

Therefore, it is very important to adjust the product structure.

"At present, many independent brands of textile enterprises do very well, such as red beans, YISHION and other enterprises sales effectiveness is good.

We should push these enterprises to further intensify their research and development, and further develop the terminal market.

"

But Wang Tiankai also believes that it is impossible for all textile enterprises to make brands. The key to small and medium enterprises is to determine their own positioning.

It is also important to be specialized, refined and special in supporting the backbone enterprises.

We have made breakthroughs in structural adjustment, including backbone enterprises and small and medium enterprises, so as to establish their own position and prepare for future development.

"

Textile enterprises can appropriately do other industries to feed their main businesses.

During the period of pformation, some enterprises chose to make brands and high-end ones, while others extended to other industries such as real estate, which seriously deviated from their main businesses.

In this regard, Wang Tiankai said that he did not object to the use of brand and influence by enterprises, and to do some other industries to feed their main businesses properly.

"We do real estate, capital and money, but many of our entrepreneurs choose to do business because they are safer and more reliable, and feel more practical and proud."

But he thought he could not abandon the brand that had already been formed.

"A brand can make today's enterprises pay a lot of effort. It is hard for a brand to win the position in the domestic and international market. We should not give up easily.

"

The following is a pcript of the interview:

Host

Hello, dear viewers. This is a special Chinese media online interview 2012 brought by China economic network and harmony news.

Today we invited Wang Tiankai, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and chairman of the China Textile Industry Federation, to visit the studio.

Ask him to talk about the trend of the textile industry this year and how to deal with it.

Welcome to President Wang.

[03-09 20:47]

Wang Tian Kai

Hello.

[03-09 20:47]

Host

Let's first talk about what issues have you been concerned about this year's two sessions? [03-09 20:48]

Wang Tian Kai

I am a representative of the textile industry. Most of the small and medium enterprises in our industry are traditional industries. Of course, I am very concerned about whether we can introduce some policies and measures to better solve the smooth running environment of small and medium enterprises.

In this meeting, the government work report was also reflected. I also made some suggestions in these areas, including proposals.

[03-09 20:48]

Host

What are the highlights of the textile industry in this year's government work report? [03-09 20:49]

Wang Tian Kai

I think the most important thing is in this report on the work of the government, the prime minister mentioned the need to expand domestic demand, especially the economic growth of consumer demand.

To improve the income level of middle and low income groups, we should introduce some social security measures.

There is no doubt that expanding domestic demand is very important for the textile industry.

Secondly, the prime minister's report also put forward a series of policies and measures to support small and micro enterprises, including structural tax cuts and financial institutions' support for small and micro enterprises.

These policies and measures are very good support for our industry.

[03-09 20:49]

Host

Most of the textile industry is small and medium-sized enterprises, you have always been concerned about their living conditions. How difficult is their survival in today's economic situation? [03-09 20:50]

Wang Tian Kai

Recently, just 8 surveys have been carried out. More than 100 people have done some surveys at the grass-roots enterprises to understand what is most difficult at present. Now it seems that financing difficulties and financing are more common.

Of course, there are many very specific situations, to what extent and to what extent.

Secondly, there are problems of tax burden and recruitment.

[03-09 20:52]

Wang Tian Kai

Now, the problems encountered by small and micro enterprises are that the growth of factor costs is too fast. After all, they face the environment of adjustment. However, these situations are faced by enterprises themselves. The external environment, especially in the government departments, must be concerned about. The financing is a very big problem now.

Recruitment and other issues reflect different situations, which can be solved by enterprises through efforts. However, financing is a pressing matter of the moment and must be well solved.

[03-09 20:52]

Host

Speaking of this year's industry situation, such a set of data, textile and garment exports in January fell 4.2%, the first negative growth since the financial crisis.

In January, sales volume of clothing sales in 100 key shopping malls increased by 12.3% and 0.18% respectively compared with the same period last year, compared with the 7.52 quarter growth rate in the fourth quarter of last year.

It should be said that from the two markets at home and abroad, the two situations are not very optimistic. What do you think of the situation of the textile and garment industry this year? [03-09 20:53]

Wang Tian Kai

There is no doubt that exports will be relatively tight this year, as there is no obvious improvement in the textile platform market from the international market.

Despite the increase in exports last year, the number is basically flat.

There may be some special circumstances in January this year, but the export of textiles will be tighter all year round.

[03-09 20:53]

Wang Tian Kai

There is also a fall in the price of raw materials, and our cotton prices are much higher than the market in the past.

The domestic demand market will be tighter in the first half of the year, but for the whole year, as our country's policies and measures play a role, consumer demand will not be very pessimistic.

In the first half of this year, the industry needs to make tight preparations. But in the whole year, we still need to build up confidence and not be pessimistic to how sad this year is.

[03-09 20:53]

Host

How can enterprises cope with these favorable and unfavorable factors? [03-09 20:54]

Wang Tian Kai

For textiles, the most important thing is to produce products satisfying the market demand.

Therefore, it is most important to provide products that can really meet the needs of the international and domestic markets, so adjusting the product mix is very important.

In addition, from now on, we can see some very good enterprises in the whole industry, especially those who make their own brands, including red beans like Jiangsu. This time I went to Guangdong, Guangdong's YISHION, and enterprises were very confident.

We should push these enterprises to further increase R & D efforts and further develop our terminal market.

[03-09 20:54]

Wang Tian Kai

We understand that these companies are good at sales.

We can not let all textile enterprises to make brands. The key to small and medium enterprises is to determine their own positioning, like the previous general processing, especially the small and medium enterprises.

It is also important to determine our own positioning, to be specialized, to be fine and special, to support our backbone enterprises.

Including the adjustment of industrial structure, the adjustment of enterprises after going out, including the adjustment to the Midwest, this is the trend of the future industry.

[03-09 20:57]

Host

The central economic work conference held at the end of last year set the tone for this year's economic work to advance steadily. This is the second time that the central economic work conference has made steady progress in the past 14 years, and how to realize the textile industry? [03-09 20:57]

Wang Tian Kai

Steady progress, from the industry point of view, to maintain stability in the international and domestic markets, this stability depends on our industrial structure adjustment, can truly produce products that meet the needs of the market is the most important.

I understand that steady progress is a breakthrough in structural adjustment, including backbone enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. Under such circumstances, we should set our own position and prepare for future development.

[03-09 20:58]

Host

Speaking of the steady development of the industry, we think of the fluctuation of cotton prices last year. What is the demand and supply of cotton this year? [03-09 20:58]

Wang Tian Kai

From the total amount of cotton, we are definitely not enough.

In recent years, cotton has been described as "roller coaster" in the most popular terms. In the past few years, cotton has gone all the way to thirty thousand, and has gone to more than 10000 all the way, which has brought many problems to our production enterprises.

Last year, we said that the order is small and the order is short. The reason is that we can not see the price and do not know where to go.

The state adopted the policy of purchasing and storage last year. Now we have received 2 million 700 thousand tons. We import some more every year. We can also get cotton in the international market.

Cotton supply and demand involve institutional problems.

If we allocate resources according to the market, I estimate that cotton can be bought, but now we have quotas, so there will be tight and tight issues.

[03-09 20:58]

Wang Tian Kai

Now we use the means of planning to collect and store, and we do not know what methods we need to use when we put it in storage.

If I say the auction, I may not be able to say what the price is.

Coupled with the international situation, we can not judge whether cotton is not allowed to sell in India recently.

Now that the policy has not yet come out, we will see how to make the final decision. We very much hope that through the reform of the circulation system, we can truly allocate the resources according to the market principle, so that enterprises can freely purchase cotton.

As for how to protect the interests of farmers, I think there will be a way to deal with them.

[03-09 21:02]

Host

Does the association have specific measures and measures to stabilize cotton prices? [03-09 21:02]

Wang Tian Kai

First, we have put forward some hope to the government, including collecting and storing, including storing and storing, including how to do better in circulation system. We have made many requests.

For enterprises, we should try our best to convey information. To put it another word, the cotton industry is still more small and medium sized enterprises. Their grasp of information is lagging behind. We can provide some information to enterprises in time to let them grasp the raw material information.

In the end, the circulation system is better solved through the government departments.

[03-09 21:02]

Host

You mentioned cotton temporary purchase and storage. We often say it is a double-edged sword.

By the end of February, the state had collected nearly 2 million 700 thousand tons of cotton, accounting for nearly 40% of its annual output.

Domestic cotton prices are also higher than foreign cotton prices more than 4000 yuan, will this affect the international competitiveness of the cotton textile industry chain? [03-09 21:04]

Wang Tian Kai

There is no doubt that there is a definite impact. A simple example shows that there was no increase in the basic quantity of textile exports last year.

For example, the export of towels and cotton products has dropped in the US market. Who has increased? India has increased, for the simple reason that it is cheap.

Now we are even more worried because our country is in the condition of long-term allocation of resources and there may be some enterprises moving out of factories.

The proportion of cotton in textile costs is very high, accounting for over 70%, and there is a problem of premature aging. We are not without competition, we can have competition, but because of cheap cotton, we move out.

We had a special look at Southeast Asia last month, but there is no cause for concern.

[03-09 21:04]

Host

The "12th Five-Year" period is a critical period for the pformation of the textile industry. In the process of pformation, many enterprises have different choices. Some enterprises choose to make brands and high-end ones, and some extend to other industries such as real estate. It can be said that they are seriously deviating from their main businesses. What do you think of this phenomenon? [03-09 21:04]

Wang Tian Kai

First, I want to talk about the main business first.

I talked about this topic on some occasions. Actually, we have many brand enterprises. They are very hard to achieve today.

Like YOUNGOR and Bosteng, is it easy to do today? A brand has done a lot in their efforts today. It is hard for them to win such a position in the domestic and international market today. We should not give up easily.

[03-09 21:04]

Wang Tian Kai

At that time, we did make real estate, made capital and paid more money, but many of our entrepreneurs chose to do business because they are safer and more reliable in their industry, and feel more practical and proud.

Is it easy for you to make clothes today? It's not easy.

I have no objection that you can only do business and can not do anything else. If you take advantage of your brand, make use of the influence of your business in the local area, do some other industries properly, or earn some money to feed the main business, and it is not impossible to make the main business stronger.

For the industry, we do not advocate that we should make a brand. It is not so easy to make a brand.

[03-09 21:07]

Wang Tian Kai

I also know that we have a lot of enterprises, to talk about the contribution of science and technology and the brand contribution. They all do the brand. It is very much like cooking while making a brand image.

In the future, China's textile industry is truly a pillar brand, which can ultimately affect both international and domestic resources. After all, it is still a minority that can fully allocate resources internationally. A large number of small and medium-sized enterprises that are matched with our large enterprises, it is very important to make them sophisticated, practical and specialized.

Enterprises should do their best according to their own conditions. It is most important to determine the development of the next few years.

[03-09 21:07]

Host

Recently, the Ministry of industry and Commerce issued the "textile industry" 12th Five-Year "development plan". During the "12th Five-Year" period, the industrial added value of China's textile enterprises above designated size increased by 8% annually and the industrial added value rate increased by 2 percentage points. Do you think the average annual growth rate can be increased by 8%? [03-09 21:08]

Wang Tian Kai

I have always said that the final implementation of the "12th Five-Year plan" requires the concerted efforts of the government, industry and enterprises.

The government, as I said, can really provide a better external environment for promoting the pformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Our industry is nothing more than providing enough information in the process of guiding the pformation and upgrading of the industry to promote the pformation and upgrading of the industry so as to make the pace more solid.

Of course, enterprises should judge the position of international competition in the future industry according to themselves. As we have always said, we need to know ourselves and ourselves, to determine our position, and how to do it and move forward. This is very important.

Therefore, in order to achieve the final pformation and upgrading and realize the pformation from big to strong, the final implementation of the "12th Five-Year plan" needs the joint efforts of the government, industry and enterprises.

[03-09 21:08]

Host

What do you think the focal point of the development of the industry should be? [03-09 21:09]

Wang Tian Kai

During the "11th Five-Year" period, we talked about two contributions, the contribution of brand and the contribution of technology.

Actually, we have talked about the important points of pformation. In addition to brand technology, we also mentioned sustainable development in the future, which is actually resources, environment and talents.

These aspects should be fully promoted as our strategic base, that is, the cultivation of brand, technology, resources and environment, as well as the training of qualified personnel. In accordance with the goals we have already set, we must accomplish the pformation from big to strong.

[03-09 21:10]

Host

The textile and garment industry is now managed by the three departments of the SASAC, the Ministry of industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Commerce. Recently, the National Federation of industry and Commerce proposed a proposal to clarify the competent departments of the textile and garment industry. It is recommended that the responsibilities of the industry supervisors in the textile industry should be clearly identified as one of the ministries. What do you think of this proposal? [03-09 21:10]

Wang Tian Kai

I am not too clear about what this proposal means.

This is the case now, because we are an intermediary organization in the industry. The Ministry of industry and Commerce has also been looking for us. The NDRC has also been looking for us. The Ministry of commerce is even more than three, and seven or eight are looking for us. We are facing a lot of ministries.

Now I want to make it clear who will manage the industry associations and which management is better.

No matter who cares, we will try our best to do well.

[03-09 21:11]

Wang Tian Kai

We have been talking about services. I don't like people calling us the "two government". We are no longer the government. After the institutional reform, we become a department that can serve the enterprises and become a bridge between the enterprises and the government.

We also hope that the government can support the association to do its job well and do well in the work of the industry.

I think it is more important to manage the relationship between the government and the association now. As for which management, who will manage after the reform of the government organization, we will do our best to do the work well.

[03-09 21:12]

Host
