Textile and garment industry is one of the important mainstay industries in China's economy, textile and garment trade has a very significant status in China's foreign trade. At present textile and garment is the biggest commodity in foreign trade surplus. Textile and garment trade between China and Japan is very important for foreign trade between them. Since twenty years ago, after the reform and open policy in china, foreign trade between China and Japan has been continually increasing, among them, textile and garment trade has been increasing rather rapidly. In 2006,the total value of China's exports on textile and garment trade is 1470.85 hundred million dollars. Japan is the largest export market of China's textile and garment presently, and also the largest import source of China's textile and garment. But because of the sharply increase in the textile and garment export to Japan, the friction of textile and garment trade between China and Japan has gradually become a problem of bilateral economic relation which can not be neglected by both of them. In the past, the dispute on textile trade between China and Japan is very furious, and also it will be that in the future. Since the year 1995, textile and garment trade between China and Japan has become the fuse that influences the two countries'economy and trading relationship, and it has been a problem in the two countries'economic relationship that can't be neglected. In order to prevent a large quantity of China's textile swarming into Japan's market in the after-quota times, Japan set down'special measures against China's textile'. The measure orders, take the late year's export quantity to Japan as the base, the rising extent can't exceed 7.5%, woolen goods can't exceed 6%. The import restriction that Japan did to China is determined by many factors. The radical reason why the economic trade friction came into being and developed between China and Japan is the gradually boost up of China's economic strength and the continuous downturn of Japan's economy. The most fundamental reason Japan put the urgent import restriction measures into practice on China is to protect domestic industry and correlative benefits. In fact, the radical reason that led to the textile trade friction between China and Japan is not the large quantity of China's textile and garment which be exported to Japan, it consisted in the garment industry itself. The further reasons that Japan's textile industry faces difficulty are the high cost of Japan's labor force, the decline of textile garment's international competence, the enterprises'low efficiency that is resulted by the factors of domestic system, the growth up of Japan's circumjacent countries and the high cost which brings by Japan's domestic structure problems.Therefore, it is terribly necessary for the development of both China and the whole world to recognize China's competitive advantage and disadvantage at Japan's market, to analyze the main problem that exists in the export of textile and garment to Japan, and to discuss the countermeasures of the export development of textile and garment to Japan.
