Who can save the U.S. textile industry?.
<P Align=left> </ P> <P> the two countries after a long and difficult negotiations finally the recent signing of a bilateral textile and apparel trade agreements. .According to reports, the U.S. textile and apparel manufacturing industry, many people do very happy for a while. .However, some insight that they seem to not be blindly optimistic, the opposite should be calmly considered a question: Who can save the U.S. textile industry? .</ P> <P> Sino-US textile trade agreement is a mutually beneficial agreement, but also to reduce trade friction and ensure the stable development of future trade relations between the temporary product. .Must be noted that, after all, is an imposing restrictions on Chinese exports to the agreement. .In essence, the United States in the global textile and apparel quota system continued after the demise of restrictions with the World Trade Organization, contrary to the principle of free trade, is the quota system of the "resurgence." .</ P> <P> the United States from the restrictions of Chinese textiles to the real purpose is to save the dying can be said that the U.S. textile and apparel industries. .In the United States, textiles and clothing production industry attributed the decline of similar products in China and other developing countries, export growth that many people. .It is difficult to understand is that they only see the U.S. textile and apparel industry employment continued to decline, the trend of globalization today can not see the "irresistible." .Only see the market share of U.S. products become smaller and smaller, do not see this is a result of global competition "inevitable." .</ P> <P> facts already proved uncompetitive import restrictions do not protect the U.S. textile industry. .When developed countries are mainly related industries in order to protect the global textile and apparel quota system has been implemented since 1974, the U.S. textile and apparel industry has not as such protection and the "boom" up, but continue to decline. .Take the number of industries, the United States 30 years ago, the industry employed a million of the public, and to protect the 30 years after the end of last year, the number of only 40 million. .</ P> <P> Currently, the U.S. textile and apparel industry faces competition not only from China but from around the world. .According to U.S. statistics, this year, although imports of clothing products from China have increased substantially, but the similar products of other countries are also rapidly increasing exports to the U.S.. .Where products from India and Bangladesh grew by 34% and 24%. .From Indonesia and Sri Lanka, imports also grew by 17% and 18%. .</ P> <P> With the experience of Chinese products exported to the U.S. restrictions on exports to the U.S. in other countries must speed up accordingly as the presence of the U.S. market from developing countries, the huge demand for inexpensive clothing. .University of North Carolina used the words of Professor, a textile industry, which is a "balloon effect", oppression of a part of the balloon, the balloon will inevitably lead to other parts of the muster. .Respected U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has repeatedly stressed that the U.S. some of the human figure in any effort to restrict the development of globalization will eventually adversely affect the United States. .</ P> <P> In fact, the United States sought to protect their own markets and related industries and the result is just the opposite list goes on. .For example, the early 80s of last century Japanese auto major push into the United States, the United States on Japanese car imports once quotas have been taken, the end result is the Japanese cars on American soil to run the floor, while the national car manufacturer's market share .smaller and smaller. .</ P> <P> Sino-US textile and apparel trade agreement is only valid for 3 years. .That after 2008 the United States no longer any excuse restrictions on foreign textile products. .Then who can save the U.S. textile and apparel manufacturing industry? .Can be said that some people in the United States blindly optimistic after the signing of this agreement, in the end it will only be an "empty joy." .Because, relying on restrictions on imports and other trade protection measures, can not stop the U.S. textile and apparel industries decline. .(End) </ P>.
