Chinas textile and apparel exports has experienced rapid development since China joined the WTO in 2001， especially after the cancellation of quota in 2005， with average annual growth rate of more than 20%. But since the 2008 financial crisis， Chinese textile and apparel export enter the medium and low growth channel， and the situation is more serious this year， declined by 4.6% in first eight months.

Obviously， such a development urged our garment enterprises with garment suppliers to accomplish the innovation in technology and concept. Such as the New Jack Sewing Machine Co.， LTD. Of China， they always consider research and innovation as the most powerful competition to the enterprise. There is a research and development group who conquer more than 30 technical projects every year in the company. Technology transformed into capacity， leading the development of the industry， promote their enterprise transformation.

At present， China products， particularly those simple style of the mainland brand order losing to southeast Asia， cause many orders transfer.
