ASEAN Has Become The Fourth Largest Export Market For Chinese Textiles In The First Three Quarters.

In the first three quarters of this year,

The latest statistics show that China's exports to ASEAN increased by 41.3% in the first half of September this year, an increase of nearly 3 percentage points over the same period last year.

Exports of textiles and clothing increased by 41% and 42.2% respectively over the same period last year.

Insiders said that although China's exports of ASEAN's textile and clothing showed a good momentum, but with the cost competitive advantages of ASEAN and other Southeast Asian countries highlighted, there was also a competitive relationship between China's textile exports and these emerging trading partners.

In recent years, Southeast Asian countries, represented by Vietnam, Indonesia and Bangladesh, have shown good export momentum.

According to WTO statistics, from 1990 to 2009, Bangladesh's clothing exports accounted for 0.6% of world clothing exports from 3.4% to 3.4%. From 2000 to 2009, Vietnam's clothing exports accounted for 0.9% of world garment exports to 2.7%.

In addition, in August of this year, according to the US Department of Commerce, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Indonesia showed better exports to the United States than China.

The experts believe that these countries have the advantage of low labor cost and high quality in the field of garment processing. Therefore, it is also proper to obtain a large number of international clothing orders. However, statistics in recent years do not impede the development of China's garment industry, let alone replace them completely or pose a major threat.

Moreover, the development of garment processing industry in these countries has led to the export of related accessories and accessories in China.

On the whole, China and these countries maintain a trade partnership with cooperation and competition.
