Recently, some media claim that they are affected by China. The labor The impact of rising costs, the United States clothing and footwear enterprises will be the whole Asia Pacific Region The overall investment environment will be replanned. Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Vietnam will be the main beneficiaries of this "change". However, a recent study released by KPMG (KPMG) international accounting firm shows that the planning of us product procurement will eventually be in production speed and products. quality From the current perspective, compared with Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and Vietnam, China's textile industry's manufacturing advantages are still more prominent.

As early as the beginning of the year, a large number of experts and scholars in the textile industry began to say that the US textile industry "fled" China, and the issue of labor cost in the textile industry has become a hot topic in the industry. But KPMG Nick Debnam, Asia Pacific chairman of the KPMG accounting firm, said labor costs are not a measure of textile industry in all countries. Competitive power The only criterion.

Di Nan stressed that wherever we invest, it is impossible to avoid the challenge of wage rise completely. Even in India, the annual wage of its textile factories will increase by 10%, and the minimum wage level in Bangladesh in 2010 has doubled. "Wage level is only a relative parameter to measure the competitiveness of labor-intensive industries, and the quality of labor in a country. Infrastructure Construction will determine the ultimate development potential of the industry. "

The study said that China's 18-30 year old population is relatively stable, and China is still intensifying the training of professional talents in the textile industry, and the quality of the labor force is accordingly improved. With the rapid development of China's economy and rising wages, it has become an unavoidable fact. However, the quality and productivity of China's labor force are far superior to those of other Asian Pacific countries such as India and Indonesia.

In the past two years, Indonesian and Bangladesh's exports of textiles, clothing and footwear have been greatly improved, for example, in 2010, the export of Indonesian footwear products increased by 42%. Benefiting from the preferential tariff rate of the European Union, Bangladesh's textile exports increased by 43% in January ~7 to 18 billion 300 million US dollars this year. But the two countries, together with Vietnam, Kampuchea, India, Pakistan and other Asian and Pacific garment manufacturing countries, are far from competing with China.

The study points out that through further improving productivity and improving infrastructure, China has 9 of the world's top 50 container ports, and its "purchasing attraction" remains unshakable. The construction of China's expressway and railway network also means new opportunities for development in China's internal market. Therefore, US investors are still optimistic about their investment prospects in China.
