Chen Shujin: Building A New Clothing Industry

Since P reform and opening up, China's "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "textile" /a "industrial cluster has made great achievements in all walks of life.

Under the current situation, the cluster economy is still a pillar force to promote industrial pformation and upgrading, and an important part of textile power construction.

Chen Shujin, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, has long been the focus of the pilot work of textile industrial clusters. Over the years, it has persisted in the inspection and investigation of various industrial clusters, and has accumulated a lot of views and opinions on the work of industrial clusters.

This special issue has published relevant articles on the pformation and upgrading of the cluster under the current situation. It has profound thinking and distinct views, which has a good guidance and reference for the development of the cluster.

< /p >

< p > (1) < /p >.

< p > the eighteen major reports of the party profoundly pointed out that "the overall development of China and the world is still in an important period of strategic opportunities that can be a great success" in the light of the general trend of international and domestic development. We must "seize the opportunities comprehensively, deal with challenges calmly, win the initiative, win the advantages, win the future, and ensure the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way by 2020".

< /p >

Under this background, the textile industry has also shouldering a new era responsibility. < p >

After the reform and opening up, it has flourished and has become the world's largest textile industrial cluster economy, which contributes to the world's largest textile a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/", a garment producing country and a big exporter.

< /p >

< p > (two) < /p >

< p > the reason why the textile industry cluster economy has flourished in recent years is due to the party's reform and opening policy and a series of wise policies, and at the same time lies in its own comparative advantages, such as the relatively low cost of labor and land supply for a long period of time, the higher physical labor productivity produced by the bright and hardworking character of the front-line workers, the matching of their own perfect processing industry chain, the close relationship between the industry and the sales market, and the policies of the regional government's tilt development.

Of course, many comparative advantages are also created continuously in the process of development of the cluster areas, with Chinese characteristics.

< /p >

< p > however, in recent years, the domestic and foreign environment of textile industry cluster has undergone tremendous changes. Many realities are quite different from those of 35 years ago, ten years ago and twenty years ago.

For example, the industrial cluster in the southeast coastal area has not enough land resources to expand; the labor wage level has risen sharply; the shortage of labor has not only appeared in the eastern region, but also in the mainland; the prices of raw materials and energy have been rising and fluctuating greatly; the European and American markets are sluggish and export is weak; the comparative advantage of neighboring developing countries has increased, which has led to the continuous diversion of orders; the increasing consumption level in China, the gradually mature consumption concept, and the increasingly stringent requirements of consumers for environmental protection and functionality. All these factors have posed severe challenges to the further development of the textile industrial cluster economy.

< /p >

< p > (three) < /p >

< p > the development level of textile industrial clusters should be divided into stages.

The performance of the primary stage is often spontaneous, with more concentrated enterprises, distinctive features, single category, large output, obvious scale benefit, and a certain market share, but lacking public services and lack of innovation and development. Most of them have the ability to do foundry, lack of independent brand, low level of Technology and equipment, mixed production and life, and do not pay attention to environmental protection.

Most of our clusters have experienced such a stage.

< /p >

< p > obviously, the industrial cluster at this stage is difficult to cope with the current situation. If we do not improve the level with the change of the situation and develop to the advanced stage, the result can only be a decline.

< /p >

< p > it is gratifying to note that in the past ten years, the development level of most of the textile industrial cluster areas has been improved to varying degrees, some of which are in the front of the cluster area, and strive to pform and upgrade.

In the face of severe situation, they have ideas, measures, actions, and constantly solve problems, and have advanced to the stage of advanced development.

< /p >

< p > (four) < /p >

< p > China's textile industry cluster basically distributes in two levels of counties and towns, rarely in one or two or three line cities, which is Chinese characteristics.

At present, China Textile Industry Federation and local joint industrial cluster pilot work of 191, of which 96 are towns, 85 are counties (cities), there are 10 prefecture level areas, the county's focus is basically in the town.

Based on this feature, the development of textile industrial clusters should not only consider economic issues alone, but also not consider professional problems alone. Rather, it should be considered in the light of industrialization, urbanization, informatization and new socialist countryside construction. It should be closely linked with the grand goal of building a small Kang society.

< /p >

According to the eighteen major reports of P, "according to the reality of China's economic and social development, we must strive to meet the new requirements on the basis of the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way established by the sixteen and Seventeenth National Congress."

And put forward these new requirements from five aspects: the sustained and healthy development of the economy, the continuous expansion of people's democracy, the marked enhancement of cultural soft power, the comprehensive improvement of people's living standards, and the significant progress made in the construction of a resource conserving and environment-friendly society.

< /p >

< p > from the five specific requirements of the report, many of the textile industry clusters are striving to achieve their development in the advanced stage. For example, in the sustained and healthy development of the economy, there is a requirement that "the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress to economic growth has risen sharply, the level of informatization has been greatly improved, the quality of urbanization has been significantly improved, and the effectiveness of building a new socialist countryside" has been significantly improved. For example, in the overall improvement of people's living standards, there are "more employment and narrowing of income distribution gap"; for example, in the significant progress made in the construction of a resource conserving and environment-friendly society, there are "significant reductions in total emissions of major pollutants, enhanced ecosystem stability, and improved living environment".

Therefore, to do well in the construction of textile industrial clusters and enhance the level of cluster areas will be of great significance to the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way in the whole society.

< /p >

< p > (five) < /p >

< p > after all these efforts, the textile industrial cluster area is gradually getting rid of the initial stage of development mode and upgrading step by step.

Then, what is the goal of textile industry cluster to develop at a higher stage? And what aspects should we strive for? < /p >

< p > first, the goal is defined as the construction of new industrial clusters.

In the course of formation and development, many basic characteristics of industrial clusters in China are accompanied by the background of that time, and have not adapted to the development of social and economic situation.

Therefore, clusters should be pformed and upgraded, and a new industrial cluster to meet the requirements of the new era and new situation should be established.

< /p >

< p > secondly, according to the spirit of the eighteen conferences and the experience of China's textile industrial clusters in these years, the new textile industrial clusters should have seven aspects: < /p >

< p > the first is the harmony between industry and residential environment, < /p >

< p > doing well the urbanization construction and improving the quality of urbanization obviously is one of the goals of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

In 2012, China's urbanization rate has exceeded half, reaching 52.6%.

The development of these years has proved that industrialization is an important way to promote urbanization.

Therefore, the eighteen put forward that industrialization and urbanization should be well interacted.

< /p >

< p > China's textile industry clusters are mainly distributed in counties and towns. Many clusters start from the countryside. The Federation has 8 million of the workers in the pilot area of the industrial cluster, and the employment mainly comes from local farmers and migrant workers.

Talking about urbanization is mainly the urbanization of man.

With a large number of migrant workers, the society must consider the public welfare enjoyed by their urban residents. Therefore, the textile industry has created conditions for the urbanization from the employment perspective. Whether the textile industrial cluster economy can be consolidated and sustained development is of great significance for improving the urbanization of our country.

< /p >

< p > textile industry clusters should be consolidated and sustained in both the developed towns and the developing areas or rural areas. One of the important factors is to harmonize the industry with the living environment and the environment so that the industry will have a future.

In the early days of many industrial clusters, thousands of households were everywhere, and the production areas were mixed with the living areas.

After many years of development, many clusters have built large and small parks and processing points, concentrated production and left the residential areas, which have improved greatly. However, there are still some areas where the improvement is not in place or even improved, resulting in low quality of living and even disturbing the people.

More importantly, production in some clustered areas produces "three wastes", and environmental protection work has not been done well.

Although these countries have been carrying out environmental protection work in recent years, some clustered areas have adopted measures such as shutting down non-compliance enterprises, establishing specialized parks, and constructing centralized sewage disposal facilities. Some enterprises are also actively adopting advanced technology to carry out equipment upgrading, and strive to save energy and reduce emissions and control three wastes. However, there are still dead areas in the region, and there are still non compliant enterprises.

As a new type of textile industry cluster, it is necessary to ensure a good living environment in both urban and rural areas. At the same time, there should not be any enterprise that does not meet the requirements of environmental protection in the region, and the industry is truly friendly with the environment.

The industrial clusters in developed countries such as France, Switzerland and Italy have set an example for us.

< /p >

< p > two is that enterprises generally enjoy public services < /p >

< p > textile industry is a small and micro enterprise which occupies the majority but can not be arranged by large enterprises and large groups.

The vast majority of small and medium-sized enterprises have no ability to achieve self perfection service, and they must rely on public services to develop better.

Textile industry cluster must have such a public service platform.

This problem has not begun to be valued by people. Ten years ago, President Du Yuzhou proposed building a public platform for industrial innovation in the textile industry cluster, serving the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises, and specifically put forward a service platform based on the five pillars of design development, quality inspection, personnel training, information technology, e-commerce and modern logistics, and also focused on the cultivation of typical clusters.

< /p >

Providing excellent public services is an important factor to enhance industrial competitiveness and achieve sustainable development. P also has such experience and practice internationally.

In 2008, when President Du Yuzhou headed a delegation to Italy, he visited several textile industrial clusters.

The area in the Vieira area is a woollen processing area, when there were 18761 businesses in the area.

Among them, textile enterprises accounted for 44%, manufacturing enterprises accounted for 23%, finishing enterprises accounted for 11%, knitting enterprises accounted for 7%, textile enterprises accounted for 9%, and other accounted for 6%.

There are only 6 enterprises employing more than 500 people in the enterprise. There are 9719 enterprises employing 1 people, 6596 of whom employ 2~9, and the rest are not equal.

The Como area is a real silk fabric processing area. It is well known in the world. There are 1880 enterprises in the area, including 700 weaving enterprises, 200 printing and dyeing and finishing enterprises, 250 garment, necktie and scarf manufacturing enterprises, 300 design and plate making enterprises, and only 6 enterprises with 250 or more people.

Italy is an old textile producing country. Up to now, there are still a large number of small and medium enterprises, and products are still in the leading position in the world. The effective and effective public service is an important reason.

In these two areas, there is a perfect industrial public service platform, which helps enterprises to fashion design, develop products, develop markets, train talents, detect and test, promote brand and business exchanges, and service is in place, so there is the present situation.

< /p >

< p > some of our textile industrial clusters have also made considerable achievements in the construction of public service platforms over the past years. The contents of public services are very rich, covering product development, quality inspection, vocational training, personnel training, enterprise informatization, special product network, e-commerce, logistics, financing guarantee, patent protection, media publicity, competition exhibition, brand cultivation, index publishing and so on. This largely ensures the healthy development of small and medium-sized enterprises in the cluster, but generally speaking, our gap is very large. In building new textile industrial clusters, the task of building public service platform according to local conditions is still arduous.

< /p >

< p > three is full of integrity, brand name "/p".

< p > market economy is about integrity.

If an enterprise fails to be honest, it will lose the market and be eliminated.

An industrial cluster is composed of many enterprises, and some enterprises do not have integrity, which will bring a very negative impact on the entire cluster. Therefore, in the new industrial clusters, integrity must be full of integrity.

< /p >

< p > the integrity of textile industrial clusters involves various aspects. It can be listed from several aspects.

For example, the textile industry will use a variety of raw materials, cotton, wool, linen, silk, chemical fiber and other large categories, but also can be divided into many categories, cheap fiber more than ten thousand yuan a ton, expensive fiber up to several hundred thousand yuan, millions of yuan per ton.

So, do you promote the use of raw materials are genuine, proportionate, whether there is a substitution or a short weight? For example, because of the emergence of new textile technology, the function of textile products has greatly increased. Do you have the functionality of the products you advertised for production, whether they are consistent or not? Or, for example, the process of processing that you advertised is in line with environmental protection, products are harmless, is it really so? Are product indicators up to standard? Do they cause environmental pollution? And so on, all of which can reflect the integrity of textile enterprises.

There are, of course, many other aspects, such as commitment to product quality, commitment to delivery, and commitment to protect intellectual property rights.

Therefore, only one enterprise in the industrial cluster can operate in accordance with the principles of market economy and become a mature and advanced cluster.

< /p >

< p > brand is closely related to integrity.

The regional brand of the new textile industry cluster should be well known. It should be well known in the industry and be recognized by consumers.

Regional brand composition includes many factors, such as characteristic culture, excellent products, etc. it can be said that every enterprise unit and every aspect in the cluster should have a positive and positive image.

It is not easy to do well in regional brand in the industrial cluster area. It is the result of all efforts and concerted efforts. Everyone benefits from this brand.

If there are individual enterprises running counter to them and infamous in the society, they will have adverse effects on regional brands. Other enterprises will also be suspected of being questioned, and their interests will be damaged. Therefore, regional brands will also test the level of administrative management and social organization management in an industrial cluster area.

In addition to compliance with the law, it is necessary for foreign enterprises to join the association's organization in the region. They must also accept the code of conduct and influence the reputation and interests of the region, and they will be punished.

It can be said that the more positive elements in a region, the greater the brand value will be, and the more it will enter the advanced stage.

< /p >

< p > four is permeated with the spirit of innovation < /p >

< p > most of our textile industry clusters have a low starting point. Many enterprises are making orders, processing, relying on low cost to make money, relying on expansion production to make more money, so most of them do not engage in technical personnel and do not attach importance to scientific research and development.

Other enterprises do not innovate themselves, specializing in copying other people's development and design results.

At this stage, some clusters have been going on for quite some time.

< /p >

P, however, these days are getting worse.

As the situation continues to change, forcing those clusters to develop at a low level will change the way of growth.

Some cluster enterprises began to attach importance to design and development, and tried to pform from OEM to ODM. Some enterprises started with the upgrading of technological equipment, and promoted the improvement of innovative thinking with product upgrading. More enterprises developed and manufactured equipment with independent intellectual property rights on the basis of introducing and assimilating foreign advanced equipment technology, and embarked on the road of innovation.

However, the universality of innovation in textile industry cluster is not enough, and there is a gap between innovative thinking and innovative strength.

< /p >

< p > we are now a big textile country, but not yet a powerful country, with a large quantity of products, but the value is still relatively low. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously improve the added value to make the performance stronger, and innovation is the only way to increase the added value.

< /p >

< p > the eighteen Party of the party once again stressed the "implementation of innovation driven development strategy", and put forward that we should bring the wisdom and strength of the whole society to innovation and development. This is also an important guiding ideology for the development of cluster economy.

When the spirit of innovation is pervaded over industrial clusters, it will bring a more significant comparative advantage.

Because industrial clusters are gathered by many enterprises that produce similar products, the speed of information dissemination is very fast, and the geopolitical relationship makes them naturally possess strong knowledge spillover and technology spillover conditions. Advanced technology, advanced equipment and innovation results will soon be magnified, thus forming cluster advantages.

Of course, the premise is to solve the problem of intellectual property rights.

< /p >

< p > the innovation spirit of industrial clusters is embodied in the enterprises in the region, and is also reflected in the guidance and organization and implementation policies of the regional economic development. Undoubtedly, this is one of the essential connotations of the new industrial clusters.

< /p >

< p > five is a solid industrial chain matching < /p >

< p > an important feature of the textile industry is the long industrial chain and many links.

If the processing industry chain is more complete in a region, the lower the cost of procurement matching, the faster the product will be listed, and the advantage of scale, the cluster will have strong competitiveness.

Looking back, we can see that in the process of economic development and expansion of China's textile industrial clusters, improving the industrial chain is a very typical work method.

Around the characteristics that have been formed, the upstream product cluster is developing downstream, and the downstream products cluster is developing upstream. The cluster of intermediate products develops to both ends, and has the supporting development of the whole industrial chain. From fiber to final product, there are also some supporting development of local key chain.

Because they are all in one area, the matching effect is very good, which is also difficult for foreign textile counterparts.

< /p >

Less than P, the matching of industrial chains within the same region is good. However, some clusters do not have the conditions to do so, and other methods can be adopted, such as the matching of upstream industrial clusters and downstream industrial clusters, such as the yarn and weaving industries, weaving and dyeing and finishing industries.

For example, the matching of industry and professional market, such as garment processing and surface accessories market, is one of the successful examples of China's textile industry cluster.

The key to supporting the industrial chain is to set up a solid industrial chain. Only by stabilizing can we take the advantage of participating in the market competition with the form of industrial chain, and then we can form the conditions of integrated innovation and collaborative innovation, so as to ensure the relatively low price advantage of the matching cost of procurement, and to make the characteristics of the cluster to be the best and to remain the leading position in the competition.

Therefore, no matter what form to form a stable supply chain of industrial chain, it is one of the signs of mature industrial cluster.

< /p >

< p > six is a close relationship between production and marketing < /p >

< p > summarizing the experience of the development of textile industrial clusters, it is undoubtedly a successful practice to promote the rapid development of industrial clusters through interaction between industry and professional market.

In the past, the development was relatively fast. Now the industrial clusters with fairly good momentum of development basically have strong professional market matching.

Due to the circulation function, diffusion function and radiation function of the specialized market, it can expand the influence of the industrial cluster area, attract all kinds of production factors, and expand the scale of the industry. It can quickly push all kinds of products to consumers, and can quickly feedback the evaluation of the products, so as to help the industrial production meet the consumers' products.

Professional production and professional market have realized the complete realization process of value chain in a region. This is also very consistent with the characteristics of textile and clothing products. Therefore, this magic weapon is still a new industrial cluster to adhere to.

At the same time, the cluster area should keep pace with the modern marketing mode, the specialized market should be upgraded and modernized, and no market matching cluster can establish e-commerce and modern logistics network through public service to serve those needed.

< /p >

< p > seven is that people have higher cultural level and comprehensive quality < /p >.

< p > government officials do what the government should do, such as the construction of public service platform; the association organizes the role of the bridge to serve the enterprises; the business operators abide by the law and abide by the law, assume social responsibilities, treat their employees well, have the knowledge level to adapt to the situation, and the vast number of job hunting workers can love their jobs with ease. Of course, the government must implement the treatment of their homes and the real enjoyment of the urban population.

< /p >

To sum up, the textile industry is an eternal industry, and the industrial cluster is a good form of spatial organization supporting the continuous development of the industry. Some characteristics of the cluster make p have an advantage in the market competition.

In order to achieve sustainable development, the government in the clustered area must adhere to the established foundation, give full play to the unique advantages of the cluster economy, adhere to the concept of scientific development, and build conditions according to the new industrial clusters.
