1、Analysis of Chinas textile trade, the pressure of competition 【Key Words】 paper textiles; competitive pressures; dumping; anti-dumping; green barriers; the international market 【Abstract】 textile industry is Chinas pillar industry, with solutions of times people use clothes and support the social be
2、nefits related industries, as well as profits and taxes turned over to the State and export of the direct economic benefits. But with Chinas accession to WTO, textile exports are not the same as entering into the imagination of a beautiful spring, on the contrary, from the international and domestic
3、 pressure to make this in recent years, the textile trade friction. This paper analyzes Chinas current competitive pressures faced by the textile trade. An overview of the situation of Chinas textile export As Chinas traditional industries, the textile industry since the 20th century, 80 years since
4、 the textile and apparel exports has been the first in the country and its export value not only the total value of exports accounted for 1 / 5, but also Chinas foreign trade surplus is the largest source of such a huge surplus into Chinas foreign exchange earnings and an important source of capital
5、 accumulation. As a populous developing country, labor-intensive industries to Chinas textile industry has provided a broad employment space, present, China in the textile, garment, chemical fiber industry, staff more than 8 million, with the accession to the WTO on Chinas textile industry brought a
6、bout the development of opportunity, will have more to absorb Chinas labor force. Moreover, Chinas textile industry in the world market also has a very important position as the worlds largest textile producing and trading countries, China is affecting the global textile and apparel trade, an import
7、ant force. The current global textile and apparel trade volume amounted to 320 billion U.S. dollars per year, Chinas textile export volume accounting for the global textile and apparel trade 1 / 4. With Chinas accession to WTO, has been troubled by Chinas textile export quotas will be solved. Howeve
8、r, the abolition of textile and clothing import quotas on Chinas textile industrys impact is two-sided. On the one hand, elimination of quotas will be achieved free trade in textiles and garments. Over the years can not be troubled by the passive quota of a substantial increase in exports of Chinese
9、 textile and garment industry, will be released. Other hand, the abolition of quotas will have competition in the form of Chinas textile industry a tremendous impact. Before textile trade quotas for asylum is under the unfair trade, the current global textile and apparel trade patterns, to a certain
10、 extent, is based on a quota based. My country European Union, the United States and other countries have imposed restrictions textile and garment exports are mainly determined by the quota decision. Once the quota restrictions, will inevitably lead to market structure changes. After the abolition o
11、f quotas, textile markets for free trade, Chinas textile trade is facing unprecedented challenges. 2 Analysis of the current pressure on textile exports 2.1 repeated-dumping complaints, a huge international market competition pressure Ever since Chinas accession to WTO, Chinese-made products in the
12、international market, to suffer more and more anti-dumping investigations, the Chinese products are more and more anti-dumping resistance, according to a from the WTOs annual report shows that: July 2002 1 to December 31 during the day, at the global 149 anti-dumping case, Chinas export trade has be
13、en 27 investigations, accounting for 18.12% of the world total. Anti-dumping cases in which textile products is increasing, particularly since 2002, Chinas textile trade barriers around the world suffered as much as the number of involved broad range are unprecedented. Chinese exports of textiles, m
14、ainly take the pricing strategy, that is, low-cost method for entering the market, will explore the international market, hopes the formation of low labor costs are the price advantages. This practice not only caused by foreign countries against Chinas textiles into question the quality of products,
15、 but also Chinese products subjected to anti-dumping charges. As the anti-dumping in line with WTO rules, and the anti-dumping measures can be carried forward five years, and at 5 years after expiry review continued, therefore, if Chinas exports of textile products have been taxed, they can maintain
16、 the 10-20 years years, equivalent to being permanently excluded from the outside of the importing country. 2.2 The green trade barriers weakened the competitiveness of Chinas textile exports Green barriers are technical barriers to trade (TBT) in a form that is, those in order to protect human life
17、 and health, protecting animal or plant life and health, protecting the ecological balance of such purposes, directly or indirectly taken to restrict or prohibit trade in laws, regulations, policies and measures, which in essence is a new kind of trade protectionist measures. In developed countries
18、than in developing countries to use their own was the obvious economic and technical expertise to develop environmental technology, environmental protection products, and gradually form a green barrier. In recent years, the international textiles and apparel products increasingly stringent environme
19、ntal requirements, particularly those for products, environmental regulations, technical standards for textiles and clothing trade, had a severe impact. Because the textile industry is highly polluting industries, production of printing, dyeing and finishing processes involved in problems of polluti
20、on and harmful substances in finished products on human health hazards, more and more cause for concern, some countries have introduced this the standard mixed rows of different environmental requirements for products, the impact of international trade in textiles is growing. At present, due to Chin
21、as textile enterprises is not strong awareness of environmental protection, textiles, textile products does not meet international environmental standards, environmental requirements in an increasingly strengthened, Chinas textile export competitiveness has been seriously challenged.

23、cotton prices continued to rise since the one hand, and imported fabrics through increased labor costs are significantly higher increase in wage income of workers on the other hand, with its corresponding labor lower productivity, so the labor charge a marked increase in the cost advantage of Chinas
24、 textile industry further weakened. In China, the cotton textile industry has advanced equipment, low, automatic winder only 30%, while developed countries are 100%; a variety of non-woven machines accounted for 10%, not only far below the 40% level of developed countries in Europe and the United St
25、ates, and the is also lower than the world average of 20. As the equipment and backward technology, China is not only a lack of new product development capabilities, it is difficult to improve quality and reduce costs, is not conducive to improving the competitiveness of Chinas textile products. 3.4
26、 The rise of the textile industry in other developing countries, increasing the pressure of international competition in Chinas textile industry Grade in terms of textiles and clothing, the world market is divided into three levels, first in developed countries occupied by high-end textile market, a
27、nd second, newly industrialized countries occupied by mid-textile market and the third is occupied by developing countries, low-grade textile market. Obviously, our country is the third level. On the competitive edge, some developing countries for its cheaper cost and closer to Europe and the United
28、 States market advantage and competitive low-end textile market in China, although did not affect Chinas textile exports and the worlds largest producer of status, but has wins take a considerable amount of market share. South-East Asia, South America, South Asia, Africa, developing countries, have
29、enjoyed a traditional textile and garment production history, in recent years has emerged a number of textile and garment producing countries, they enjoy preferential policies than China, Chinas lower labor costs than has been our competitors. At the same time, the EUs textile and apparel market is
30、affected Eastern Europe, Turkey, encroachment, because they have a low-cost, short delivery time, distance near the advantages of low tariffs, squeeze out some of our traditional markets; the EUs textile and apparel liberalization strategy has also had beneficial European regional trade liberalizati
31、on. Thus, although we are the worlds first textile exporting countries, but the menacing face of the other developing countries, our market share and competitive advantage is a step by step narrowing profit margins are also a step by step, are suppressed.
