China has made good progress in fashion and textiles in recent years, reinforcing its
role as a preferred supplier to major markets, and duly aligning itself with the other
members of the WTO.
In 2002, there were 70,000 textile and clothing enterprises in China, of which only 2
percent of clothing companies, and 20 percent of spinning companies were either state
owned or controlled (People’s Daily, 2002).
Textile and garment exports are expected to exceed US$70 billion this year, US$8.3
billion more than in 2002, according to domestic sources (China Apparel, 2003a).
Au and Yu (2002) have traced some of the determinants which have led to China’s
strong competitive position in the early years of this millennium, and the development
process will not be commented upon here. Suffice to state that China is, by most known
measures, doing well but it is forecasted that challenges are in store – “. . . one being

joined in December 2001, US textile and clothing imports from China increased by 124
percent in 2002 and, according to Knappe (2003a):
Chinese exporters reduced their prices in order to gain a greater share in the market. Theywere able to do so, among other reasons, because quota rents were reduced and Chineseenterprises increased their productivity by investing heavily in new machinery andtechnology.Inevitably China has domestic market concessions to make in the run up to 2005, andthe options for both regional and distant exporters are numerous. The Hong Kong
Trade Development Council identified eight major trends in the market, prior to WTOentry, which provided insights for prospective traders. These included traditionalwestern suits, corporate wear, clothing for mature consumers, underwear,childrenswear, womenswear, sportswear and the tailor-made clothing market(particularly merchandise for the boutiques, specialty stores, and custom-made
