　　 Garment purchasing It involves much more than the cheapest place to find only one laborer, but the industry has so far been obsessed with seeking the successor of a Chinese mainland as the last resort. Industry experts say this is a complex problem, and almost always some stupid answers are hurriedly answered.

As in previous years, this year, experts on clothing purchasing again gathered to talk about their annual competition: finding out the new world factory in mainland China. Opinions vary, but Bangladesh is still obviously the favorite of 2013. In 2012, the share of the Greater China region (mainland China + Hongkong + Macao) in the US import market declined 0.1%, while Bangladesh's share increased by 0.2%. If this trend continues, one day, Bangladesh will have a day when the mainland will become the number one garment supplier in the United States. tailoring There are so many complicated variables that even experts do not dare to say that there will be no such a day.
