In 2013, President Xi Jinping successively proposed the “Silk Road Economic Belt” and “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” initiative, namely the “Belt and Road Initiative”, and in the second year it rose to one of the three national strategies.
After five years of comprehensive promotion and development, the “One Belt, One Road” construction has been transformed from an idea to an action, from a vision to a reality, and the results have been fruitful. We have gradually woven the Asia-Europe continent as the center, radiating the continents of the world, and connecting the world’s oceans. The cooperation network will build an international cooperation platform for the development of national development strategies along the “Belt and Road”, complementing each other's advantages, interconnecting and inclusive development.

In the past five years, the Chinese textile industry has actively integrated into the construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative, and the “action” has been frequent. The establishment of the China Textile International Capacity Cooperation Enterprise Alliance (hereinafter referred to as the Alliance) is a landmark event for the Chinese textile industry to systematically integrate into the “Belt and Road” construction. It is also a major turning point for the Chinese textile industry to shift from product export to export and international capacity cooperation. . At present, there are 107 member companies in the alliance, which basically covers the backbone of the international distribution of the textile industry chain, including national-level industry organizations and textile and garment associations in key textile provinces such as Jiangsu, Shandong and Guangdong.
