In late June and early July 2025, China's textile industry giants entered a concentrated 'red time'. Over a dozen leading enterprises, including Shenghong Holding Group, Weiqiao Venture Group, Erdos Group, Dasheng Group, Hongdou Group, Hengli Group, and Tongkun Group, intensively held activities celebrating the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. From commendation meetings to red study tours, from themed party lessons to cultural performances, the scale and density of these efforts far exceed typical anniversary commemorations.
This phenomenon reflects a deep-seated shift in the textile industry: amid volatile external trade environments, slowing domestic demand, and rising costs, companies are leveraging Party-building as an 'organizational tool' to replace past crude management methods, seeking to build internal certainty amidst external uncertainty.
The 'Four Integrations' Become Industry Consensus
The 'four integrations' proposed by Shenghong's Party Secretary Miao Hangen at the commendation meeting are particularly representative. He explicitly called for integrating Party-building with business, management system optimization, work style improvement, and talent cultivation. This is not an empty slogan—when textile profit margins are squeezed to 3%-5%, any mechanism that reduces management waste and improves execution efficiency is taken seriously.
Erdos Group's practice provides data support: its 13 party committees, 8 general branches, and 92 branch committees cover 1,956 party members, forming a dense organizational network. This network effectively serves as a 'capillary' rapid response system in daily operations like order fluctuations, quality control, and safety management. The group's 13 grassroots branches were recognized as municipal-level 'strong fortresses', and its chemical division's innovation team won the Inner Mongolia Youth May Fourth Medal, showing that Party-building results have translated into quantifiable organizational performance.
Dasheng Group's case adds historical depth. This century-old enterprise, while commemorating the Party's 105th anniversary, also marked the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Nantong Independent Party Branch at Dasheng Cotton Mill. Party Secretary Bao Weidong emphasized that all party members must answer the era's questionnaire on 'inheritance and development'. For an old state-owned textile enterprise, Party-building is not just a management tool but a core carrier of cultural heritage and brand assets.
From 'Red Study Tours' to 'Long March Spirit': Cross-Cycle Organizational Inheritance
Tongkun Group organized over 650 party members for a red study tour in Zunyi, Guizhou, led by Chairman Chen Shiliang, Party Secretary Xu Jinxiang, and Deputy Party Secretary Chen Lei. The company explicitly juxtaposed its 'unity, hard work, pragmatism, innovation' spirit with the Long March spirit, stating that 'no matter how difficult the road, as long as people are united and steps are steady, we can get through'.
This sentiment is not unique. Hongdou Group's Party Secretary Zhou Haijiang used the four dimensions of the Yan'an spirit—correct political direction, seeking truth from facts, serving the people wholeheartedly, and self-reliance with hard struggle—to deploy the company's development path. His emphasis on 'the more dangerous, the more forward' directly echoes the real challenges facing the textile industry: export pressure, raw material price fluctuations, and rising labor costs.
Weiqiao Venture Group used a choral gala to unite people, with over 2,000 employees participating. Songs like 'We Workers Have Strength' and 'We Are Weiqiao Entrepreneurs' foster strong identity among industrial workers. For ultra-large textile companies with hundreds of thousands of employees, such rituals are a low-cost, high-efficiency team-building tool.
Innovative Party-Building Forms: From Commendations to Immersive Performances
Hengli Group's 'Red Light and Shadow Creative Performance Competition' is noteworthy. Twelve party branches created original performances based on classic red films, blending Party history with job insights. Party Secretary Lu Kun read the 2026 commendation decision in advance—a year ahead, indicating that Party-building has been integrated into the company's medium- to long-term strategic planning.
Dali Silk's practice showcases the combination of Party-building and product innovation. Craftsmen created red-themed silk cultural and creative products using damask as paper and warp and weft as brushes. This 'Party-building + cultural creativity' model fulfills political tasks while adding cultural value to products, offering differentiated competitiveness in the gift market.
Anhui Huamao Group and Yuedai Textile adopted traditional but solid approaches: Huamao held a 'Three Firsts, One Excellence' commendation meeting, with Party Secretary Ni Junlong emphasizing 'virtue first'; Yuedai organized party cadres for a red reality education tour to Nanjing's Presidential Palace and Meiyuan. Although forms vary, the core goal is the same—stabilizing core teams during the industry's downturn by strengthening organizational identity.
Industry Impact: Organizational Power Becoming a New Competitive Dimension
From an industrial analysis perspective, this concentrated Party-building activity sends a clear signal: the competition logic of China's textile industry is changing. Over the past decade, the industry competed on production scale, cost control, and channel coverage; in the next decade, organizational efficiency, talent reserves, and cultural cohesion will be key differentiators between leading and ordinary enterprises.
For buyers, a mature Party-building system in a supplier reflects management standardization, employee stability, and delivery reliability. Especially in foreign trade, where Western brands increasingly focus on supply chain social responsibility and compliance, the 'organizational discipline' and 'execution power' embodied by Party-building may serve as an implicit credit endorsement.
