On November 27, the 2017 China Cotton Textile Conference was held by the China Cotton Textile Association in Shanghai. A total of more than 300 officials and representatives from state ministries, industry associations and member enterprises attended the conference.

Jiakun Wei, general manager of Weiqiao, attended the conference and delivered a special report named "Inheriting the Great Artisan Spirit to Train Highly Skilled Talents."
In his speech, Xiaoping Duanpointed out that in 2017, the overall steady growth of China’s textile industry has led to noticeableimprovements in profitability and acceleration inindustry transformation, which has helped China maintain its leading position in the global market. For the first nine months in 2017, investment in China’s textile and apparel industry grew steadily. Notably, investment in the cotton textile industry remainedone of the main contributors. However, China’s textile industry still facescertain difficulties. In the future, there will still be volatility and uncertainty in the global markets, putting pressure on foreign trade. Xiaoping Duanalso mentioned some concerns and insights onthe industry. Firstly, enhancing the development of the real economystill has a long way to go, as financing difficulty in the textile industry is still a major problem. Secondly, the popular concept of a “whole industrial chain” is currently highly sought afteras a result ofthe ongoing regional structural adjustments. Xiaoping Duansuggested that people need to carefully factor in the scientific and rational allocation of resources and the sustainable development of the industry. In terms of production, the gap in cotton deserves special attention. If the gap in high-quality cotton is not properly filled, it will greatly affect the international competitiveness of China’s cotton textile industry. Using machines to replace human labor is the trend of development, and Xiaoping Duanhopes that industry associations, research institutes and manufacturing enterprises will ink close cooperation to promote intelligent production and industry progress.
