of fabrics reaches 2.1billion meters and garments

industry---China Light Textile Industry City

development of the textile industry. To transform
Shaoxing from a large textile industrial town
to a strong textile industrial town must take
system renovation as impetus, technical innovation
as key point, market exploration as fist and
