每年，整个纺织工业价值链在国际纺织制造商联合会（ITMF）组织的全球峰会上举行会议。今年，该活动从10月16日至18日举行北京。2009年，全球纺织行业在中国举行会议，那时在上海竞争对手的城市。中国加入了2008年的ITMF，并继续成为一个越来越重要的纺织市场。
中国正在前进
Just a few first notes from the event, which truly revealed a new openness from the Chinese delegation, as well as provided a warning that textile markets are turning upside down because of fast growing e-commerce.
如果一个人读取代表名单，很明显地看出大多数与会者来自中国。此考勤模式有各种原因。第一个原因绝对是在一个人自己的国家中参加活动的便利。尽管所有最近的谣言都在努力的另一个原因，是因为中国正在走向全球经济之外的道路，其到达顶端可能只是时间问题。关于这一趋势的评论在ITMF全球峰会的一些演讲中听到了一些演讲。过去几个月和几个月，有关于中国“放缓”的重要全球金融报纸的文章。鉴于这些文章，首脑会议与会者预计中国国家纺织和服装委员会（CNTAC）总裁王天田（包括王天田）的高级中国代表们的强烈声明，捍卫他们的观点。王先生真正是中国纺织活动的负责人。
转型正在进行中
With a virtually unbelievable openness, Wang addressed the audience and came straight to the main topic. With a smile, he said China is still on its way, however: “We are in a strong transformation. China is shifting from a mass production country to a place where we put much more emphasize on quality. And I can tell you the quality, and not only textiles, is getting better step by step. And therefore, if a country is transforming itself to another level, there are many bridges to cross and problems to be solved, both technically and mentally.”
2012年中国纺织增长降至2013年的10.8％至8.3％。2014年，王预计增长率将进一步下降至7.4％。然而，必须知道2013年，中国负责全球生产的所有纺织品的37.1％，而80％的人为纤维也来自中国。
Problems To Solve
Everybody is aware that labor costs in China are rising, but by how much? Wang reported the cost of labor in China increased over the past few years by 10 percent annually. “We are today more expensive than our neighbors around us,” he said. Even if many people in the Western world don’t believe that China is striving to achieve a much better environmental balance, Wang made a strong commitment: “On the one hand, China is behind the Western countries regarding the efficiency to use the natural resources and the energy efficiency. We are still behind the expectations of the government regarding these issues and this puts a lot of pressure on us.”
Targets
王还提出了几项强劲要求，进一步融合并获得全球纺织行业的合作，为各种有关资源和环境的待遇份额分享，并为所有待定问题做更多的责任。对于纺织和服装市场的未来，他有明确的愿景。
According to Wang, a more diversified structure within the textile industry would help shape more balanced trading within the country. Fiber processing between apparel, technical textiles and home textiles must be optimized. For example, the share of technical textiles in China is steadily growing moving from 20 percent in 2010 up to 23 percent in 2013. Wang is convinced that in the near future China will be responsible for half of global fiber consumption. On the other hand, rising fiber consumption will fuel emerging markets to more growth.
“Free trade among the partners must be optimized with a much better communication quality,” Wang claimed. He virtually insisted that all countries, and particular the important textile countries of the world, including the machinery manufacturers, should be linked in better way.
Priorities
王明确界定了中国纺织业的优先事项：改善基础研发项目;加强技术创新;改善环境条件以获得更好的气候;并建立一致的纺织废物再循环。
“You know other countries are taking away some production from us,” Wang said. “With this new situation, China came very much under pressure and we must react to this situation.” And then Wang mentioned a list of requirements aimed at the ITMF. For example, consensus on free trade agreements to facilitate trading, and the integration of industrial and supply chains for everybody to have access to the world markets. One must know that it was an open secret that as one of the ITMF vice presidents, Wang would become the new President. This is one of the reasons why the event took place in the capital city of Beijing. Looking at the Board of Directors of the ITMF Wang said: “The CNTAC is prepared to play a more important role in ITMF.”
Prosperous Future
At the end of his very open speech, Wang presented a few charts that show the positive future and future growth in Chinese industrial performance. “If a country of the size of China is transforming itself towards a new business culture, there are lots of sociological and other problems to overcome,” Wang said. “But with our own strength, a different attitude and the help of our global business partners, we are sure to achieve the targets.”
By the way: Wang Tiankai was unanimously elected as the ITMF president for the next two years.
