"P >" since the sixteen session of the Expo, the scale of the exhibition has been growing.

In particular, the scale of this year's exhibition has been expanded, and the representative enterprises across the Straits have been gathered for project cooperation and docking.

In the future, as long as the Taiwan Textile Development Association and Shishi Haibo Association have maintained good relations in promoting the exchanges and cooperation between the "a target=" _blank "href=" //m.pmae.cn/ "textile" /a "a target=" _blank "href=" //m.pmae.cn/ "> clothing industry, we will surely make greater contributions to the cross-strait industrial development.

Huang Weiji, Secretary General of Taiwan Textile Development Association, said.

< p > Huang Weiji said that Shishi is a textile a target= "_blank" href= "//m.pmae.cn/" > dress less than /a. The Shishi clothing city is China's largest clothing professional market, with annual sales of tens of billions.

Shishi has many famous clothing brands. Its development in China is very good and its performance is also thriving. Shishi's position in China's textile industry is becoming more and more important.

In particular, in promoting the construction of the Economic Zone on the west side of the Straits, Shishi takes full advantage of its geographical advantages and actively integrates and pforms the textile and garment industry. With the promotion of quality, Shishi strengthens cooperation with Taiwan's textile industry.

Beginning in January 1st this year, 136 Taiwan textile products entered the mainland market to enjoy zero tariff preferences in the ECFA signed by the two sides. This is an important development opportunity for both sides of the Strait. It can reduce costs and enhance the competitiveness of products for mainland enterprises purchasing Taiwan textile fabrics.

I believe this time, the two sides will share the research and development achievements of the two sides, and conduct a comprehensive interaction on the development of the textile industry, technical cooperation, trade and investment, so as to further promote the development of the textile and garment industry across the Strait.

< p > Huang Weiji pointed out that the cross-strait textile and garment industry should further expand cooperation space and achieve win-win results through the platform of Haibo.

Taiwan's textile exports accounted for 30% of the mainland's exports, but in 2012, the number of textiles sold to ASEAN in Taiwan region for the first time surpassed the mainland.

There is no similar ECFA agreement between Taiwan and ASEAN.

There are two reasons for this: first, the 136 textile products represented in the list do not represent all the textiles, that is to say, there are more than 1000 zero tariff treatments for textiles.

Two, all the world's brands have entered the mainland market.

ASEAN's Vietnam, Laos, Kampuchea and Burma have been enjoying zero tariff treatment since January 1, 2012.

The point is that we hope that both sides of the Strait will see the fierce market competition and the advantages of Taiwan fabrics, expand cooperation space and fields, and jointly develop China into a strong garment country.
