Over 700 party members, applicants, and staff, along with 42分会场 simultaneously connected—on July 1, 2026, the CPC Committee of the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC) held a themed party day event under the slogan 'Forever Follow the Party, Weave the Original Aspiration.' This was not merely a ceremonial commemoration of the 105th anniversary of the CPC, but a clear signal that the industry association is accelerating the integration of party building with industrial governance.
The Logic Behind the Party Event
The event featured a '3+1' agenda: oath-taking for new party members, awarding of '50 Years of Glorious Party Membership' medals, presentation of seals to newly adjusted grassroots party organizations, and a special lecture by CNTAC President Sun Ruizhe titled 'Establishing and Practicing Correct Performance Views to Lead High-Quality Industry Development.' The lecture unfolded across five dimensions, focusing on the real harms of performance view deviations in industry services. Sun specifically warned against three tendencies: pragmatism undermining political stance, departmentalism impacting overall development, and short-termism affecting long-term growth. These three points directly address the pain points of internal competition, short-sighted corporate behavior, and fragmented policy implementation currently facing the textile industry.
For industry observers, the value of this event lies not in the celebration itself, but in revealing how the industry association uses party building as a lever to transform political principles into industrial governance norms. With approximately 80 secretaries of grassroots party organizations and heads of various units attending the main venue, this organizational density itself indicates that party building is becoming a key mechanism for coordinating internal industry interests and aligning action directions.
Correct Performance Views and Transformation Pressure
In his lecture, Sun systematically summarized CNTAC's achievements in practicing correct performance views: transforming political advantages into governance efficiency through party leadership, turning strategic requirements into action guidelines by serving the overall situation, converting industry concerns into service effectiveness through demand orientation, and integrating service resources into overall synergy via systematic thinking. Behind these four points lies the profound pressure of the textile industry's transformation from scale expansion to quality improvement.
China's textile industry has long been the world's largest producer and exporter of textiles and garments, but it now faces multiple challenges: rising costs, trade barriers, and green transformation. The traditional performance view of simply pursuing output growth is no longer sustainable. Sun's 'four types of performance'—in凝聚人心, regulating the industry, leading innovation, and international cooperation—essentially redefines the industry association's 'achievement' standards: no longer just trade show numbers or membership size, but the ability to build industrial ecosystems, drive technological innovation, and participate in international rule-making.
This shift will directly impact the entire supply chain: future resource allocation, policy recommendations, and standard-setting by the association will lean more toward long-term value projects rather than short-term hotspots. For example, in fabric development, the association may encourage R&D in functional and sustainable materials rather than following fast-fashion orders; in trade services, it may focus more on helping companies address new barriers like carbon tariffs rather than simply expanding export volumes.
