In the 10 years since the cultural revolution, the Chinese have been described as "blue ants" by Westerners because of their monotonous clothing.

Since the reform and opening up, Chinese people have been liberated from the dark clothes. People began to pursue colorful and diverse styles in their costumes.

Dacron, crepe, Hua Dane, bell bottoms, blouse, bodybuilders, jeans, dresses and so on have all been the "dazzling stars".

Since the reform and opening up in the 80s of last century, with the constant pursuit of beautiful clothing, China's modern clothing industry is on the rise.

In order to carry out foreign trade activities more effectively, in 1978, the functions of China's foreign trade organizations were divided more meticulously.
