A Study on the International Competitiveness of China Textile and Clothing Industry
Ever since the open policy adopted in China, textile and clothing industry has been playing an important role in the economic development and foreign trade. The achievements prove the competitive advantages possessed by China textile and clothing industry, while we can attribute the advantages to factors endowments as abundant raw material and human labor. These advantages can also be acquired by other countries with similar situations, such as India, Pakistan, Mexico and Turkey. With the abolishment of quota system in 2005, these countries have faced more favorable trade policies than China. China will face a more competitive market than before. Author of this article hopes to understand the international position, competitiveness, existing problems and strategies as industry innovation and upgrade for China textile and clothing industry through analysis

Labour Cost and Export Behaviour of Firms in Indian Textile and Clothing Industry
The implementation of the Agreement on Textile and Clothing (ATC) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) renders both threats and opportunities to Indiaâs Textile and Clothing (T&C) industry in the wake of liberal international trade in the sector. Firms acquire greater international competitiveness through various cost cutting and efficiency enhancing strategies. The question we try to ponder on is, what route does Indian firms take to join the international export market in T&C. Empirical analysis, using Tobit estimation techniques, supported the view that increasing the share of low cost labour was an important route through which export performance of the Indian firms in T&C was enhanced. Further, the use of this means to perform better in the international market aggravated in the period after the implementation of the ATC. On the other hand, capital and technology based factors did not have any perceptive effect on the export performance of Indian firms in the international market. This endorses the view that the Indian T&C firms by and large utilized the low road to competitiveness, rather than the other. Also the importance of the import intensity in export performance suggests that Indian T&C is increasingly getting integrated within the global value chain.Export performance; Textile and clothing industry; Labour cost; Tobit Model; Agreement on Textile and Clothing

China and Sub Saharan Africa: impacts and challenges of a growing relationship
The existing literature is clear that China is impacting on Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). What is not clear is the precise nature of that impact. Does it come mainly from trade in cheap manufactured goods? Does it come from China's seemingly insatiable hunger for oil and minerals? What countries benefit and in what sectors? What role do Chinese companies operating in Africa play? How beneficial is Chinese aid and/or international cooperation? Who is losing out, and why

Bangladesh Apparels Export to the US Market - An Examination of Her Competitiveness vis-ĂÆĂÂ -vis China
The rise of China has major repercussions for a country such as Bangladesh which has emerged as an important player in the global apparels market. True, the global pie in apparels trade is expected to expand considerably in view of the increase in demand, and also on account of the envisaged closure of large number of apparels/textile unit in the developed countries (mostly lower-end apparels/textile segment which were likely to become a sunset sector) and there will be space for more than one player. Evidently, impact and implications of competition from China will have to be examined and scrutinized at country level and for disaggregated items of apparels (since the impact for particular countries will be felt only at the disaggregated product level). It needs to be mentioned here that an earlier paper by the CPD has looked into the possible implications of Chinas rise in the context of the EU market. This particular paper will try to analyse the aforesaid issues as they relate to the US market.Bangladesh, Apparels Exports, Competetiveness, China, US market
