Sun Ruizhe: Cotton Price Fluctuations Lead To Risks, Sustained Development At Three Levels.

On April 19~20, the International Federation of textile manufacturers (ITMF) held a board of directors and Industry Symposium in Milan, Italy. Representatives from various member countries discussed extensively the development of the textile industry, especially the textile machinery industry. Sun Ruizhe, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, attended the conference on behalf of the Federation and made a keynote speech entitled "China's textile industry in the process of transformation and upgrading". The report has attracted the attention and resonance of the international textile industry.

In his report, Sun Ruizhe made a deep interpretation of the five letters of the Chinese English name CHINA in the context of the textile industry. The report is based on C--Changes are underway (development change), H--Hope is at the corner (development opportunity), I--Innovation to be, be (innovation power), China's textile industry development and its position and role in the global textile industry system, as well as the challenges, opportunities and target plans.

The report points out that recent China textile industry The changing situation includes: the decline in the proportion of exports to major markets such as the US, Europe and Japan, and the shift of labor resources from unlimited supply to limited supply leads to the rise of labor costs. The instability of cotton prices causes the benign development risks of the industry, and the domestic market demand puts forward new demands for the industry. At the same time, China's textile industry is also ushering in new opportunities for development: the huge potential of the domestic demand market has emerged; the industrial structure of clothing, home textiles and industrial textiles is being adjusted, and industrial textiles are facing greater opportunities for development; the textile export pattern is more balanced, from the economically developed areas to the developing economies; the textile industry accelerates the layout and optimization of the central and western regions. In this situation, the innovation of China's textile industry lies in "scientific and technological innovation and brand building simultaneously." In terms of scientific and technological innovation, the main performance is: pay attention to the innovation of upstream fiber industry, optimize the structure of chemical fiber products, and develop new high performance chemical fiber products. High performance chemical fiber products And bio based new materials, improve the recycling rate of reusable fiber, stabilize and optimize the production and supply system of cotton, improve the utilization ratio of unit fiber, and develop high performance and high added value. textile And so on.

Sun Ruizhe pointed out that China's textile industry attaches importance to the sustainable development of the industry, and continues to promote the implementation of various environmental protection measures. With the guidance of science and technology, it puts forward the comprehensive management and utilization mode of "all existing resources plus alternative resources + recycling resources", advocates the optimization of the use of existing resources, rationalization of the development of alternative resources, and maximizes the utilization of reused resources. At the same time, China's textile industry has also formulated a series of quantitative standards and norms for the sustainable development of the textile industry.

Sun Ruizhe believes that the sustainable development of industry depends on three levels of support: the macro level should consider the support of the whole national economic system, that is, the applicability and stability of policy oriented; the industry level should provide reasonable, timely and executable standard guidance to avoid excessive deviation of the standard from the industrial reality; at the enterprise level, we should change the "speculative" expansion mode into a healthy competition mode for sustainable development. In addition, we should pay attention to the sustainable development of the industry from the perspective of economic development, environmental protection and industrial chain: to maintain the relatively independent and vigorous development of the industry so as to reduce the risks brought by the cyclical changes in the domestic and foreign economies; to build up an eco-friendly environment to improve the stability of the healthy environment; to improve the relationship between supply and demand and to enhance the sustainable development of the industry through the supply chain management mode that is conducive to sustainable development.

Turning to the prospect of China's textile industry, Sun Ruizhe said that China's textile industry has formulated a clear direction for development, and at the same time, it has made clear that upgrading the value added of products to give priority to the expansion of product size. Therefore, in the next 5~10 years, China's textile industry will accelerate the transformation and upgrading process, promote industrial restructuring, and make fiber distribution in clothing, home textiles and industrial sectors more reasonable. The important position of China's textile industry in the global textile industry will not change, but the positioning and image of Chinese textile products in the global market will be improved with the transformation and upgrading of China's textile industry.
