No matter how progressive Chinese textile industry appears to the world, the industry itself is not satisfied with its performance, and this is the time to self-assessment for the Mainland.
To identify its drawbacks, Textile Associations and Development Committee held a meeting yesterday, wherein they discussed five issues thwarting industry's growth.
One major issue is lack of innovation which prevents the industry from bringing in technical excellence in production.
Industry does not have advanced machineries due to paucity of funds.
Experts believe that Chinese textiles have a long way to go to cater to technical expertise avaiable in international markets.
Some enterprises are concerned with their production scale, and pay little attention to raise quality and improve management.
These enterprises do not have their own brands, and keep manufacturing goods for other international brands. Moreover, they have yet to learn how to deal with international trade frictions like anti-dumping or phytosanitary measures adopted by the US, the EU and other countries.
