The global situation is turbulent and volatile, the market environment is changing rapidly, and industrial development is experiencing huge shocks and ups and downs. Those who understand the trend are wise, and those who control the trend win. Under the new development pattern of "dual circulation", China's textile industry is directly confronted with multiple changes such as technological revolution, green transformation and regional cooperation, and has stood at a key node in the reconstruction of the global value chain. How to seize opportunities and jointly create the future has become a core issue shared by the entire industry.

On October 11th, the press conference for the 8th World Textile Conference in 2025 was held in Beijing. The conference announced that the 8th World Textile Conference will be held in Keqiao, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province on November 6, 2025. This conference, with the theme of "International Competition and Cooperation - Reconstructing the New Pattern of Global Textile Value Chain", will deeply explore the new competitive situation and new cooperation paths of the global textile industry in the context of the new era.

Promoting cooperation through competition: Consolidating industry consensus in the process of reconstruction

The textile and garment industry serves as an economic bond connecting the global market, a bridge for the exchange of diverse cultures, and a development platform promoting industrial integration. Carrying common values, driving global innovation, promoting east-west cooperation and facilitating north-south coordination, the industry is an important force in driving in-depth cooperation across regions, fields, races and civilizations. Sun Ruizhe pointed out in his speech that the global industrial chain and value chain are facing a systematic reconstruction. With resilience at its core, the industrial layout has shifted from "efficiency first" to "equal emphasis on safety". With intelligence as the direction, the innovation model has shifted from "single-point breakthrough" to "system integration". Value-oriented, the development logic has shifted from "cost first" to "responsibility-based".

He said that to drive the future of the global textile industry, it is not about "building walls and piling up barriers", but about "enjoying the garden together". Not to be "a single flower standing out", but to "fill the garden with spring colors". In this regard, he put forward three proposals: First, we should promote development through openness and integration. Promote the efficient flow and optimal allocation of capital, technology, talent, data and other factors on a global scale, counter uncertainties with the greatest degree of openness, and jointly safeguard the security and stability of the global industrial chain. Second, we should boost momentum through collaborative innovation. Seize the opportunities of the digital and intelligent era, empower industrial upgrading with the broad prospects of "Artificial Intelligence +", drive a fundamental leap in the new industrial paradigm, and enable the achievements of scientific and technological innovation to benefit the global textile industry. Third, we must plan for the future with responsibility and commitment. Taking sustainability as the fundamental guideline for industrial development and the core of value creation, we should build a consensus on responsibility through mutual learning among civilizations, construct a value community of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and contribute to the sustainable future of mankind.
