China: World's Top Garment Producer
China-made garments now account for one fifth of the global market share, the largest single rate in the world, according to statistics from an on-going national garment industry meeting held in Chaozhou City, southern Guangdong Province.

China's garment production rose to 11.6 billion pieces in 2000 from 670 million in 1978, an increase of 17 times or up 14 percent annually.

The country exported garments worth US$36.1 billion in 2000, 50 times that of 1978.

New technologies, such as computerized designing and management, are now widely used in the country's garment industry, and are raising the overall quality and standards of the industry, said Jiang Hengjie, president of the China Garment Association.

China has a host of garment enterprises whose annual sales revenues average more than 1 billion yuan (about US$120 million).
