How Does China'S Textile Industry Grow In The Baptism Of Wind And Rain

Since this year, global economic and trade frictions have intensified, and under the haze of tariffs, the trend of "Made in China" has been steady——

The added value of industries above designated size increased by 6.5% year-on-year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing increased by 9.7% year-on-year, and the output of new energy vehicles and industrial robots increased by 45.4% and 26% respectively year-on-year.

When the time axis of observation is extended, we can further feel the sonorous steps of big country industries: in recent years, in the face of repeated trials and tribulations, we have always maintained a stable size, and the "new three kinds" have risen. 5G, humanoid robots have led the world, and industries have accelerated their growth and continued to grow.

The baptism of wind and rain has trained the tenacity of Made in China, and also made many Chinese enterprises more determined. The more they face uncertainties, the more they have to overcome difficulties and forge ahead, and firmly grasp the initiative of development.

We should have a stable foundation, and more importantly, we should have the motivation to make progress. When the test comes one after another, how to enhance continuity and competitiveness? Advance towards the new -- Chinese industry responds with practice.

In the tariff friction, Ma Jianrong, chairman of Shenzhou International, a clothing manufacturer, chose to forge a flexible supply chain.

Ma Jianrong has been deeply engaged in the clothing field for more than 30 years. He has experienced the demand reduction brought by the financial crisis and the risk of one-way peripheral transfer of orders. All kinds of storms have made him realize that strength is the only way to face difficulties.

Research and develop high-end fabrics, build a smart factory, and invest at least half of the profits in equipment transformation and process improvement every year. The fastest time from fabric order to ready to wear delivery is only 10 days. By taking the manufacturing to the extreme, Shenzhou has built an advantage beyond the cost in the "Red Sea market", with the multi-year net interest rate stable at 20%.

China has a complete range of industries and a complete industrial system. However, we need to comprehensively upgrade the middle and low end industries, and make high-end layout to adapt to the new situation.

Take the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries as the top priority in building a modern industrial system: increase the research and development of new materials in the textile industry, introduce AI and other technologies to reshape the production process; The steel industry has entered the stage of "volume reduction development and stock optimization", and the application density of robots in key enterprises has reached 65 sets/10000 people; The electronics industry pushes the old to bring forth the new, and folding screen mobile phones lead the market... In response to demand bottlenecks and homogenization competition, it is moving towards high-end, intelligent, and green, and the "world factory" shows a new look.

From new energy vehicles to high-end medical equipment and operating systems, behind the growth of every Chinese industry, there is a big market. In the face of the complex internal and external environment, based on the domestic market as an important rear area, firmly grasp the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, which shows the strategic significance.

According to statistics, among the hundreds of thousands of enterprises with export performance in 2024, nearly 85% of them will carry out domestic sales at the same time, accounting for nearly 75% of the total sales.

"In the face of external fluctuations, many enterprises will choose to turn to the domestic market. At the same time, the upgrading of domestic consumption coincides with the high-end development stage of the industry, which also creates conditions for improving the competitiveness of enterprises and industries." Xu Zhaoyuan, vice minister of the Industrial Economy Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said.

Deepening the domestic market does not mean closing. By making good use of two markets and two resources, China's industry will go out with great strides, meet the world, withstand the wind and rain, strengthen its skills and create opportunities.

From the "zero clearing" of restrictions on foreign investment access in manufacturing industry to more opening pilot projects in value-added telecommunications, biotechnology and other fields, China has continued to increase opening and cooperation, promote the improvement of China's industrial competitiveness, and promote the optimization and upgrading of the global industrial chain supply chain.

From the arduous exploration at the beginning of reform and opening up to chopping waves in the world economy, China's industry has been climbing over obstacles and overcoming difficulties all the way. It is normal to have wind and rain, it is a state of mind to have rain or wind, and it is a state to have both wind and rain.

It is undeniable that we still face many challenges: the unprecedented changes in a century have accelerated the evolution, some domestic industries are at the middle and low end of the value chain, and some key areas have not been fundamentally solved.

However, the super large market, complete industrial system and endogenous power, toughness and potential of economic development have given China's industry the confidence to ride the wind and waves. In response to challenges, Chinese industry has developed a more stable core and cultivated the ability of sustainable development.

In the face of the changing international situation, Anta accelerated its voyage against the trend and announced that it would wholly acquire the German clothing brand Jack Wolfskin (Chinese name: Wolf Claw). "Instead of being Nike in China, we should be Anta in the world." Ding Shizhong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Group, is full of confidence.

This is the growing Chinese industry in the wind and rain. On the journey to the sea, the earth is at your feet.
