Abstract: The global textile and apparel industry had been governed by quotas under the Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA) since 1974. The developed countries laid certain restrictions on the number of items that could be exported by low cost producers, such as China and India, so as to protect their local textile industry. After the expiry of MFA on January 1 st 2005, China was expected to be one of the biggest winners due to its competitive textile industry. Chinese textile exports had experienced tremendous growth since its entry into the World Trade Organisation in 2002. But many competitors and importing countries, including the US textile industry, voiced concerns that China was set to dominate and destroy the textile industry through unfair trade practices including currency manipulation and subsidising its textile industry. |
