On July 1, 2025, the CPC celebrated its 105th anniversary at the Great Hall of the People. Among the 149 outstanding Communist Party members, 150 outstanding party workers, and 399 advanced grassroots party organizations honored, the textile sector saw 2 individuals and 8 party organizations recognized. This reflects how party building is driving the industry from traditional manufacturing toward high-end, smart, and green transformation.
Background
Zhang Bo, chairman of Shandong Weiqiao Pioneering Group, and Mi Xuemei, customer service director of Zhongshan Xiahu Shijia Garments, were named outstanding party members. Party committees of Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian), Jilin Carbon Valley Carbon Fiber, Changzhou Huada Garments Group, and Jiangsu Yueda Textile Group were among the 8 advanced grassroots organizations. These entities span chemical fiber, garments, carbon fiber, and industrial automation, covering the full value chain.
A common thread: all have achieved technological breakthroughs and global expansion. Hengli built a 20-million-ton refining-chemical integration project in 19 months, breaking foreign monopolies. Jilin Carbon Valley now produces 190,000 tons of precursor, making it the world's largest producer. Party building has evolved from ideological work to a frontline force for industrial innovation.
Industry Impact
From 'Ordinary Worker Party Building' to Innovation Engine
Changzhou Huada Garments exemplifies this. The traditional apparel maker now produces 130,000 airbag units daily, shifting from imported fabrics to an integrated chain of weaving, coating, and folding. Its 'ordinary worker party building' model focuses on upskilling 25,000 employees. Similarly, Mi Xuemei conducted over 100 training sessions to help migrant workers gain skills and stabilize employment.
For textile firms, party building is a practical tool to tackle labor shortages, retention issues, and tech upgrades. At Hengli, 83.3% of senior executives are party members, and party members lead 75% of patent inventions. Integrating party structures with production management can significantly boost R&D efficiency.
Global Supply Chains and the 'Belt and Road'
Huada's ten-year 'Belt and Road' push has resulted in five factories in Vietnam with 15,000 employees. Its domestic and overseas bases collaborate closely, building a 'headquarters economy + global supply chain' model. Yueda Textile extends party building to overseas projects, ensuring organizational coverage wherever business expands.
For buyers and foreign trade firms, party building capability is becoming a proxy for organizational resilience. A company that efficiently coordinates cross-border operations and maintains technological consistency likely offers better delivery reliability and compliance.
Green Transformation Under 'Dual Carbon' Goals
Hengli pioneered 'embedded wastewater treatment', achieving COD below 15 mg/L and full water reuse, earning it a national 'green factory' title. Jilin Carbon Valley's party committee integrated party building into independent innovation, helping domestic carbon fiber enter the global first tier. Green transitions require long-term investment and cross-department collaboration—areas where party organizations excel. Hengli's 208 adopted 'golden ideas' in three years largely focused on energy saving and process optimization.
