Gao Dekang: Attention Should Be Paid To The Pfer Of Textile And Garment Industry To Southeast Asia.

Gao Dekang, chairman of the twelve National People's Congress and chairman of Bosideng, on the eve of attending the Beijing meeting, said that the situation faced by Chinese textile and garment enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, is becoming increasingly severe. P

China's textile and garment enterprises have begun to migrate factories to Southeast Asian and South Asian countries with more labor cost advantages.

In the past 2012, the textile and garment industry is facing the dilemma of external market demand and rising domestic production costs. Gao Dekang Bosideng, the largest Chinese brand down garment operation group controlled by P, has actively promoted the internationalization strategy with the pformation and upgrading and brand building as the breakthrough, and has promoted the brand value.

< p > however, Gao Dekang is clearly aware that the cost advantages of China's textile and garment manufacturing industry in the export sector are disappearing as labor costs and RMB exchange rates rise.

Since 2008, the major textile and garment importing countries such as the United States and Japan have significantly reduced orders in China due to the international financial crisis, the macroeconomic downturn, the increase in labor costs and the weakening of terminal consumer demand. In 2012, international brands such as Adidas and Nike shut down manufacturing enterprises in China, and the textile and garment industry in China shifted to Vietnam, Burma, Kampuchea, Bangladesh and other countries.

< p > he believes that if the current export shortage is caused by the international economic downturn, then the international economy will always recover, but what is even more worrying is that the textile and garment industry chain is pferring to Southeast Asia. "The permanent pfer of the industrial chain is the biggest impact."

He said: "more than 10 years ago, a large number of European and American orders went to China, which contributed to the rapid improvement of China's textile industry chain. Therefore, China has become the world's garment processing plant. Now orders are pferred to Southeast Asia, and the industrial chain is likely to shift, which is indeed worrisome."

The first thing to go after the order is the garment factory, then the upstream supporting industry. Now many garment factories are planning to move to Southeast Asia.

It is understood that Bangladesh and other countries are building clothing factories everywhere. For them, the textile and garment industry is in the ascendant, and that is the opportune time to develop vigorously.

< p > "our biggest advantage now is that the industrial chain is complete, and once the industrial chain of Southeast Asia is formed, we will be more impacted. Their labor wages are much lower than ours, the equipment is also good, and many equipment levels surpass China."

Gao Dekang believes that once the rapid development of the upstream and downstream industrial chains in these countries, China's textile and garment industry will suffer a fatal blow. The dominant position of the pillar industries and the livelihood industries in the national economy will be lost. The unique advantages of the labor-intensive industries to solve hundreds of millions of farmers' jobs will also be lost, which will inevitably affect the employment stability and affect the industrial and economic development.

Gao Dekang P suggested that the relevant departments of the state should organize experts to conduct in-depth research on the situation of the textile and garment industry's outward movement, formulate corresponding countermeasures, curb the trend of industrial relocation and stabilize industrial development.

He also believes that China's textile and garment industry can only find its own international division of labour only by accelerating innovation and striving for pformation and upgrading.
