Foreign Trade Stopped, Domestic Sales Surplus! How Should Textile Foreign Trade Go Out Of Confusion?

This year's foreign trade can be said to be no foreign trade. According to recent customs data, textile exports in the preceding months showed a cliff like fall compared with the same period in previous years. Although the 1~5 market is gradually warming up, the whole structure is still dominated by epidemic prevention materials.

So what does this year's textile people say when they speak foreign trade?

Experience is not reliable.

In the past, as one of the important pillars of China's economic growth, foreign trade has been showing a trend of rapid growth. For example, in 2019, the total value of imports and exports of China's goods trade was 31 trillion and 540 billion yuan, an increase of 3.4% over 2018. Among them, exports were 17 trillion and 230 billion yuan, an increase of 5%; textile and clothing and other 7 categories of labor-intensive products exported 3 trillion and 310 billion yuan, an increase of 6.1%.

It is precisely this constant growth that has brought paralysis to the textile people who make foreign trade, ignoring the risks of many risks. Once these risks have occurred, it has become what economists often call "grey rhinoceros events". The Sino US trade friction that has continued to this day, including this year's epidemic, is the grey rhinoceros incident.

And when a country announces the closure of ports, our foreign trade personnel find that their experiences over the years seem to have become yesterday's yellow flowers.

The form of foreign trade has changed.

With the continuous development of trade frictions, events such as Britain and Europe are emerging. The "globalization" that has been so incredibly reliable in the past is gradually being run by the rising trade protectionism.

The recent civil disorder in the United States seems to be the death of Freud, but in fact it is the outbreak of social contradictions that have been overloaded for many years, which includes the rise of the domestic unemployment rate caused by the expansion of the US economy. Therefore, although we all talk about "clothing, food, shelter and clothing, clothing and character is the first", but in the face of the more magical world situation, we have to sigh: foreign trade is no longer the foreign trade.

As German scholar Beck said, globalization has put us in a "risk society", that is, the continuous spread of human uncertainty is leading to the transformation of the existing social structure, system and relationship to a more complicated, accidental and split state. To put it plainly, the world is becoming more and more unpredictable. That is why the experience accumulated by our textile traders for many years has suddenly become impracticable.

We ourselves are beginning to satisfy.

As mentioned earlier, the continuous development of China's textile and foreign trade has made some textile foreign trade workers start to feel comfortable with the status quo. But in the face of this uncertain world, some experiences are not working. Eating old books, not studying, and keeping up with the development of the times are the reasons why some textile foreign trade people find it difficult to make foreign trade, while others who are brought abroad by those who eat the same old books are completely trapped by these disabled people.

Out of the predicament is a pressing matter of the moment.

No matter what the experience is, foreign trade has changed and we want to change. What should we do?

Pure anxiety is meaningless. To solve this problem, we must only deal with it from the root. As mentioned above, conservative and superstitious experiences are the problems of some foreign trade people. If we want to make changes, we must strengthen our study. That is to say, we should not only learn from students but also lifelong learning.
