System Of The Wto Textile And Apparel Export Development In Zhejiang Province To Study

China's entry into WTO will result hi different effects to different industries, among which the labor-intensive industries will gain larger benefits than the capital and technology-intense ones. Being the traditional labor-intensive industry, the textile and garment industry is regarded as the biggest winner after China's entry. Zhejiang Province is the main place producing and exporting the textile and garment in China. As one of the dominant industries in this province for many years, the textile and garment industry has contributed a lot to the increasing of the Gross National Products, the total exporting volumes and the employment of that in Zhejiang Province. Under the WTO system, on one hand, because of the improvement of the export market, such as the quotas which have greatly puzzled the related import and export firms will be gradually cancelled, the textile and garment industry in Zhejiang Province will meet with enormous opportunity to develop. On the other hand, it is also faced with huge challenges, that are, the much intensive competition in the world textile and garment market, the protectionism measures imposed by main import countries in the name of protecting environment and customers' safety and the reduction of its own comparative advantages. In the long term, the effects caused by the challenges will greatly exceed the interest gained in the short term. In this thesis, the author makes a conclusion that the benefits gained from the entry into WTO can only be achieved when the industry has raised its international competitiveness by the way of accelerating the industrial structure adjustment and implementing of the multi-market strategy and the brand name strategy. Some other related measures also are introduced here.
