Textile Industry Party Building Benchmark: New Momentum for Transformation from the Commendation List

On July 1, 2025, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China honored 149 national outstanding Party members, 150 outstanding Party affairs workers, and 399 advanced grassroots Party organizations. The textile sector saw multiple individuals and collectives recognized, including Shandong Weiqiao Chairman Zhang Bo, Zhongshan Xiashi Huajia customer service director Mi Xuemei, and Party committees of Hengli Petrochemical, Jilin Carbon Valley, Hualida, and Yueda Textile. This list reflects the industry's shift from scale expansion to innovation-driven, green, and global development.

Party Building and Tech Innovation: Breaking Bottlenecks

Hengli Petrochemical's Party committee led the construction of a 20 million ton/year refining-chemical integration project in 19 months, breaking foreign monopolies, and a 15 million ton/year ethylene project in 13 months. With 83.3% of senior managers being Party members and 75% of patents led by Party members or applicants, this organizational strength ensures stable supply chains and lower costs for textile raw materials.

Jilin Carbon Valley's Party committee boosted domestic carbon fiber into the global first tier, with raw silk capacity reaching 190,000 tons, making it the world's largest producer. This breakthrough lowers costs for high-end applications like aerospace and wind blades, opening new markets for textile composites.

Party Building and Industrial Upgrading: Smart & Green

Changzhou Hualida's Party committee transformed the company from low-value OEM to high-value automotive safety component manufacturing. Its airbag line produces 130,000 units daily, now integrated from fabric weaving to bag stitching, serving the new energy vehicle market. The company also expanded to 5 factories in Vietnam under the Belt and Road Initiative, targeting 10 billion yuan in sales.

Hengli Petrochemical pioneered embedded wastewater treatment, achieving COD below 15 mg/L and full water reuse, earning national green factory status. As global environmental standards tighten, such green processes become export competitiveness.

Party Building and Talent Development

Suzhou Huichuan Technology's Party members are 62% master's degree holders, 95% bachelor's or above, and 91% under 40. Its 'Red Engineer' training system drives innovation in industrial automation, crucial for solving maintenance and process optimization after textile industry automation.

Mi Xuemei from Zhongshan Xiashi Huajia organized skill training to help workers adapt to smart manufacturing, delivering over 100 lectures to spread policy and technology knowledge. This grassroots model helps address labor shortages and retention issues in textile enterprises.

Practical Suggestions

For Buyers - Prioritize products from honored companies: Hengli's PTA, Jilin's carbon fiber, Hualida's airbag fabric, backed by strict quality control and stable supply. - Include green certifications (e.g., national green factory) in supplier evaluation to reduce environmental compliance risk. - Watch innovation incentive systems like Hengli's 'golden idea' program, which often yields cost-saving solutions.

For Exporters - Follow Hualida's Belt and Road strategy: set up production bases in Southeast Asia for labor cost advantage, while retaining high-end R&D at home. - Invest in R&D for high-performance fibers like carbon fiber and aramid, targeting high-end global supply chains. - Adopt green processes like Hengli's to preempt international regulations such as the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
