China's Textile Industry Has Benefited From The Entry Into WTO.

The direct and far-reaching impact on China's textile industry after joining the WTO is mainly reflected in two aspects. First, ten years after WTO entry. textile industry It is the first and most profitable industry, but at the same time, the textile industry is also the first industry to be struck by protectionism. manufacturing industry Textile industry has experienced Challenge The most serious.

In 2001, when China just joined the WTO, the United States began to restrict the entry of Chinese textiles. In 2003, the first case was launched against the 242 paragraph of textile products. In 2005, after the total quota was abolished, the European and American countries signed the central European and US memorandum to extend the time limit for the number of textiles. After 2007, China really entered the stage of free trade, and the trade frictions became normal.

In the past ten years, China's textile industry has learned to cope with and improve itself, and has gained training and growth. This is a valuable asset to join WTO.

When China joined the WTO, the Chinese government's organization to deal with the "two counter one guarantee" is still not perfect, and the Ministry of Commerce's fair trade, antitrust, anti-dumping investigations and other functional departments have not yet been set up. The International Trade Office of the China Textile Industry Association (now China Federation of textile industry) was established just then. With the frequent occurrence of trade friction and with the high attention of the party and the state, the Chinese government has organized forces, gradually, under the active mediation and communication of ministries and commissions and the China Textile Industry Association, gradually grasped the national and industrial environment of the United States, Europe and other "rivals", and even their culture and habits, and formulated the correct strategies to deal with them in a flexible way, which eventually removed some obstacles for Chinese textiles to enter the international market. At the same time, the relevant functional departments of the government have been continuously improved, and a number of talents have grown up. The trade associations have begun training courses to deal with trade protection every year to deal with the normalization of trade frictions.

At the same time, China has learned how to deal with trade protectionism in a number of negotiations. In 2004, the failure of negotiations on the special safeguard case was due to China's insistence on the WTO's abolition of the principle of quantity restriction and its refusing to give in. In 2005, when Premier of the State Council personally asked, we put forward a strategy of "splitting Europe and America" and "making a small step", limiting the number of products to be extended for two years, and finally reached agreement with the European Union and the United States, and signed the memorandum. Since then, it has been proved that the share of Chinese products in these two markets has not been significantly affected. This reminds us once again that diplomacy, trade, and the interests of both sides are all in their own interests. Flexibility indicates that we are more mature.

In the process of integrating into globalization, China's textile industry has undergone great structural adjustment and achieved all-round progress. In the past ten years, the most outstanding performance in the first five years is that the proportion of home textile products has been greatly improved. In the latter five years, industrial textiles have been listed as the focus. Although the proportion of industrial textiles is not high, the share has been growing, and has shown a strong momentum of development. The upgrading of the technology and equipment in the whole industry and the great increase in labor productivity have undergone tremendous changes. This shows that internationalization has indeed had a profound impact on China's textile industry.

From the perspective of the scale growth potential of the textile industry, twenty-first Century belongs to China. Therefore, we should emphasize that the future development is no longer to expand the scale, but to improve the quality, further improve labor productivity, optimize the industrial structure and product structure of China's textile industry, and participate in the new era of international competition with stronger strength.
