The president of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, Sun Ruizhe, has said the global textile industry is at “an important moment” in its history and faces a number of important challenges.

Speaking at the Intertextile Shanghai exhibition in March, Mr Sun insisted the industry in China is responding well to these challenges.

He said: “Our industry here has shown great resilience. Innovation is the driving force behind the industry’s advance, and sustainable production is now imperative.”
