The Chinese firm is interested in joint ventures with Pakistani Textile industry in order to upgrade spinning mills which would be cost-effective and efficient to streamline the production process. Zhang said, they want to install at least one million spindles on one spinning mill which is the lowest benchmark in China, whereas in Pakistan textile company only have hundreds of spindles on one spinning machine. China Hi-Tech group is also interested in setting up power plants to meet the demand for the entire Textile industry.

The head of the Chinese delegation Zhang said China wants to relocate its textile units in Pakistan which could be beneficial due to low-cost labor. FPCCI acting president assured Chinese delegation for the full cooperation from Pakistani textile industry.

The beneficiary

Would China invest in Pakistan textile industry to upgrade textile units and invest in power generation projects to improve Pakistan’s textile industry? No not at all, China would make deals with Pakistan to re-export 80% of the yarn and other unfinished textile products from Pakistan in return and provide raw material to their textile industry in China which will late make finished goods to sell in international markets with high margins.

China is the real beneficiary from this deal, it would get unfinished textile products at the lowest possible cost from Pakistan and make its fortune by selling finished goods in the international market.

The problem of our industrial backwardness is high duties and taxes...on import of machinery..that is why many business have moved abroad with their units..
 
Can't blame China for taking advantage of the opportunity.

but this is good news for Pakistan nonetheless for upgrading the textile industry.
