"China has great etiquette, so it is called Summer; there is beauty in clothing and chapter, which is called" China ". The so-called" Huaxia "means" the country of dress and etiquette ". Looking back on the long history, before the British Industrial Revolution, China has occupied the commanding height of the world textile and clothing products production and trade for 2000 years; since China's accession to the WTO, China has also been the world's largest textile and clothing export country for decades.

Therefore, the textile and clothing industry has also become the pillar industry of China's export earnings. According to the data, in 2018, China's textile and clothing net foreign exchange earned 250.19 billion US dollars, accounting for 71.1% of the country. However, as the most important and irreplaceable raw material in textile production, cotton has encountered many "small troubles" this year.

China's cotton production ranks first in the world! Has the United States made a small calculation?

As the world's largest textile and clothing production and export country, China is not only the first cotton production country, but also the first cotton import country. Starting from the national output of 444000 tons in 1949, China's cotton production climbed to the peak of 7.5971 million tons in 2007, and then decreased, but the output in 2019 was still as high as 5.889 million tons, which was far ahead of other countries in the world. Among them, Xinjiang, the largest cotton producing area in China, produced 5.02 million tons of cotton, accounting for 84.9% of the national output.

However, entering 2020, China's cotton industry is also facing three potential pressures. First of all, Xinjiang is still in the stage of epidemic prevention and control, so the population-intensive activities such as cotton picking are temporarily suspended; according to the normal production cycle, Xinjiang cotton will start picking at the latest in early September.

Second, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and Anhui, the main cotton producing provinces in mainland China, have suffered floods this year, and cotton production may have declined. Moreover, China's cotton industry has to face external pressure. The United States is considering restricting imports of cotton products from Xinjiang, China, for unwarranted reasons, observer.com quoted us media as saying.

However, the challenges are not all bad. Moreover, during the epidemic period, as China is the first country in the world to successfully prevent epidemic and restart its economy, China's cotton production has not been greatly affected, and has obvious advantages compared with other cotton producing countries. According to the forecast, China's total cotton output in 2020 will be 5.919 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 0.2%.

At present, the top ten cotton producing countries in the world are China, India, the United States, Pakistan, Brazil, Uzbekistan, Australia, Turkey, Argentina and Turkmenistan. In addition to China, the remaining nine countries have suffered a major impact of the epidemic, and the impact on their cotton production and transportation can not be ignored. For example, India, the world's second largest cotton producer, cut its 2019 / 20 cotton production to 33 million bales (about 5.61 million tons) in April this year.

In the foreseeable future, China's cotton production will remain the world's first place for at least a period of time.

Irreplaceable! China's textile exports increased by 37.8%!

After all, as an important raw material of textile industry, the quality and output of cotton directly affect the quality and competitiveness of textile and garment products. According to the latest official statistics, in the first eight months of this year, China's exports reached 11.05 trillion yuan, an increase of 0.8%, including 737.55 billion yuan of textile exports, including masks, with an increase of 37.8%.

This figure is enough to show that China's textile industry has strong international competitiveness and self-adjusting ability.

However, there are still such comments that the US measures to restrict China's cotton imports may lead to the withdrawal of some international clothing brand giants and transfer the clothing supply chain to Vietnam, Bangladesh and Indonesia. But at this stage, China's textiles are irreplaceable.

On the one hand, it is difficult to catch up with China in terms of industrial chain and technology of textile industry in Southeast Asia in a short time; on the other hand, it is difficult for these international enterprises to copy China's high-quality production mode locally.

In a word, under the current international situation, China can take any challenge calmly as long as it ensures the stability of domestic cotton production and is based on domestic supply.
