China's Textile Industry Faces Low Intra-Industry Trade Despite Enhanced Competitiveness.
The study looked at China's textile and apparel industries from 2005 to 2010. They found that while the competitiveness of these industries has improved, the level of intra-industry trade is still low. Most of the trade is between different industries rather than within the same industry. Textile products have advanced intra-industry trade and competitiveness, while apparel products have low intra-industry trade levels. Suggestions were made to improve China's intra-industry trade in textile and apparel.
