日前，國際紡織制造商聯(lián)合會主席、中國紡織工業(yè)聯(lián)合會會長孫瑞哲接受《China Daily》專訪，孫瑞哲表示，涵蓋亞太地區(qū)15個國家的《區(qū)域全面經(jīng)濟伙伴關(guān)系協(xié)定》（RCEP），無疑為中國創(chuàng)造了更全面、更深入的區(qū)域產(chǎn)業(yè)合作機遇，這將為產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈和供應(yīng)鏈多元化創(chuàng)造戰(zhàn)略價值。
俄烏沖突持續(xù)緊張，我國對俄羅斯和歐洲的紡織品和服裝出口面臨直接壓力。孫瑞哲表示，全球經(jīng)濟復(fù)蘇的不確定性和地緣政治問題正在對我國的紡織服裝行業(yè)產(chǎn)生深刻影響。
在這個背景下，原油、棉花等大宗商品價格居高不下，化纖、棉紡等下游企業(yè)利潤空間被明顯擠壓。新冠疫情的反復(fù)和全球防疫措施的分化，降低了工業(yè)生產(chǎn)和物流的效率，削弱了市場信心和消費能力。
《區(qū)域全面經(jīng)濟伙伴關(guān)系協(xié)定》（RCEP）涵蓋亞太地區(qū)15個國家。協(xié)定的生效，為區(qū)域產(chǎn)業(yè)更全面、更深入合作創(chuàng)造了新機遇。孫瑞哲指出，這不僅有利于對沖當(dāng)前產(chǎn)業(yè)面臨的經(jīng)濟貿(mào)易風(fēng)險，而且對于產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈與供應(yīng)鏈的多元化、全球化布局具有戰(zhàn)略價值。
在RCEP框架下，其他成員國對中國紡織品的自由化承諾超過94%，中國對紡織品的自由化承諾超過95%。孫瑞哲表示，關(guān)稅減讓承諾、原產(chǎn)地累積規(guī)則、貿(mào)易自由化和便利化措施，將有利于同日本等國家在紡織服裝領(lǐng)域建立更密切的合作。
他補充說道：“RCEP不僅涵蓋貨物貿(mào)易，還涉及經(jīng)濟技術(shù)合作、知識產(chǎn)權(quán)等領(lǐng)域。先進(jìn)技術(shù)、重要設(shè)備、關(guān)鍵零部件和新模式的引進(jìn)，將加快全產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈的轉(zhuǎn)型升級?！?/span>
根據(jù)中國紡織工業(yè)聯(lián)合會的數(shù)據(jù)，今年一季度，我國的紡織品和服裝出口同比增長11.1%，達(dá)到了722.5億美元。受全球需求減弱和供應(yīng)鏈問題等外部因素影響，行業(yè)運行指標(biāo)預(yù)計上半年會有所回落。去年12月，美國通過H.R.6256法案，試圖阻止新疆產(chǎn)品進(jìn)入美國市場。此舉也將嚴(yán)重影響我國棉紡織服裝商品向美國市場的出口。
為幫助企業(yè)降低風(fēng)險、提升盈利能力，中國紡織工業(yè)聯(lián)合會引導(dǎo)行業(yè)強化基礎(chǔ)研究和應(yīng)用創(chuàng)新，取得了顯著成效。行業(yè)創(chuàng)新從“跟跑”進(jìn)入了“跟跑、并跑、領(lǐng)跑”并存階段，在纖維材料、綠色制造、紡織機械等領(lǐng)域突破了一批“卡脖子”難題。
平臺經(jīng)濟和內(nèi)容經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展，推動著傳統(tǒng)品牌升級煥新、新銳品牌涌現(xiàn)崛起。SHEIN、PatPat等電子商務(wù)平臺風(fēng)靡海外。生活方式、消費場景的變革加速市場細(xì)分和品類創(chuàng)新，為新品牌發(fā)展創(chuàng)造了空間。漢服熱、國牌熱成為當(dāng)前“新國潮”的發(fā)軔。中國自主品牌進(jìn)入了最好的發(fā)展時期。
孫瑞哲表示，除了促進(jìn)數(shù)字經(jīng)濟與產(chǎn)業(yè)體系深度融合，我國的紡織服裝企業(yè)還將努力開拓新市場、研發(fā)新技術(shù)，更好融入以國內(nèi)大循環(huán)為主體、國內(nèi)國際雙循環(huán)相互促進(jìn)的新發(fā)展格局。

RCEP weaves new relationships for apparel trade
—China Daily’s interview with Sun Ruizhe, president of ITMF, president of CNTAC
By ZHONG NAN | China Daily
?
As the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has put China’s textile and garment exports to Russia and Europe under direct pressure, Sun Ruizhe, president of the Beijing-based China National Textile and Apparel Council, or CNTAC, said the growing uncertainty of global economic recovery and geopolitical issues have had a huge impact on China’s textile and apparel industry.
?
Moreover, affected by geopolitics, the prices of commodities such as crude oil and cotton remain stubbornly high, and the profits of man-made fiber and cotton textile production shrank significantly. Also, the repeated COVID-19 pandemic waves and global divergence in prevention and control measures have weakened industrial production and logistics, which, in turn, have weakened market confidence and consumer spending.
?
He said that the enforcement of the RCEP agreement, which covers 15 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, will create fresh opportunities for a more comprehensive and deeper regional industry cooperation. This will hedge against the current economic and trade risks and generate strategic value for the diversification of industrial and supply chains.
?
Under the framework of the RCEP, over 94 percent of textile and garment products from China to other members will eventually enjoy zero tariffs after a certain period, and the number is over 95 percent for textile and garment products from other members to China.
?
Sun said that the tariff reduction commitments, accumulative rule of origin and trade liberation and facilitation measures will be conducive to a closer relationship between China and other countries such as Japan in textile and garment trade.
?
“RCEP not only covers trade in goods but also engages in economic and technological cooperation, intellectual property rights and other factors. The introduction of advanced technology, important equipment, key components and new patterns will speed up transformation and upgrading of the entire industrial chain,” he said.
?
China’s textile and garment exports soared 11.1 percent on a yearly basis to $72.25 billion in the first quarter, according to the CNTAC. The council predicted that the industry will experience a slowdown in growth in the first half, due to external factors such as weak global demand and supply chain issues.
?
As the bill H.R.6256 passed by the US Congress in December 2021 attempts to prevent the importation of goods produced in China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region into the United States, Sun said this move will hit hard on the exports of Chinese cotton textile and garment goods to the US market.
?
Eager to enhance its earning strength and mitigate risks, the CNTAC and its member companies have made notable progress in both basic and applied research. The industry has shifted its focus from following others to keeping pace and even leading the way. Breakthroughs in technological bottlenecks have been made in the fields of new fibers, green manufacturing and textile machinery.
?
The development of the platform economy and content economy has fueled the upgrading of traditional brands and the emergence of new brands. E-commerce platforms such as SHEIN and PatPat are well-known in overseas markets. The changing lifestyle and consumer behavior have brought new markets and product categories for new brands. The love of hanfu－traditional Chinese dresses－and domestic brands has heralded a new trend known as guochao, a Chinese phrase referring to homegrown style. Domestic brands have entered a high-speed growth period.
?
In addition to facilitating the integration of digitalization into industrial development, Sun said China’s textile and garment companies will work harder on developing new markets via new technologies and the country's dual-circulation development pattern that takes domestic development as the mainstay, with domestic and international development reinforcing each other.
