He said that from a long-term perspective, the 16th National Party Congress has determined that in the first 20 years of the 21st century, we must concentrate on building a well-off society that benefits more than a billion people. We can see that in the short term, the Politburo has already It is clear that the main task of China’s economic work next year is to “stabilize growth, adjust structure, ensure people’s livelihood, and promote stability”. The textile industry, as a traditional pillar industry, an important civilian production industry and an industry with international competitive advantages, faces the new period and new tasks. Will play an important historical role. In the next decade, China's textile industry will work hard to develop a modern industrial system, seize promising new opportunities, deal with new challenges that are foreseeable and unforeseen, and work hard to realize the four strategic tasks of China's textile industry. Changing the mode of economic development is the main line for the scientific development of the textile industry in the next five years through 2020. The key to implementing this transformation and the source significance is to actively promote the realization of the four major strategic goals. These four strategic goals are not only industrial upgrading. The core content, but also the basis for industrial restructuring.

Du Yuzhou highlighted the new opportunities faced by the textile industry in the future and the new challenges for the industry's commanding heights. He pointed out that the main achievements of the new science and technology ** are popularized in traditional industries, which is conducive to accelerating the upgrading of traditional industries, is conducive to stimulating industrial innovation from the source, is conducive to adapting to the upgrading of consumption structure, and is conducive to the creation of new consumer demand and new Expansion capacity. New science and technology ** change production methods, lifestyles, consumption patterns and values, and constantly generate new development space for industrial innovation, so that improving innovation capability becomes the core of industrial upgrading. At the same time, we face the reality of hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized micro-enterprises, and face the acute challenges of advanced productivity. Two-thirds of the enterprises above designated size are still in a state of low profit, lack of new technology investment strength, and the backbone enterprises. The innovation system is still in its infancy.

Du Yuzhou pointed out that China has entered the stage of average national income per capita in the new period, and the absolute advantage of the cost of the textile industry has continued to weaken. We must focus on innovation capability, improve comparative advantage, and actively create new advantages in participating in international economic cooperation and competition. Innovation in the textile industry is currently in a state of fierce competition and water sports. External pressure and endogenous forces will jointly promote the upgrading of the textile industry. Deepening the reform and opening up will continue to provide a mechanism for promoting the textile industry from big to strong. It will not only be conducive to exerting its own comparative advantages, but will also actively promote openness to the outside world, and will use both domestic and international resources to open up both domestic and international markets. The general requirements for the development of the consumer goods industry in China's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" are transformation and upgrading, which will be greatly changed.

Li Zuojun believes that with the acceleration of China's industrialization process, although the proportion of the textile industry in the national economy will show a certain degree of decline, but it is a never-fading industry, also occupies a pivotal position in the development of the national economy.
