As the mainland gradually lost its cost advantage, these customers began to choose cheaper places. Some of the middle and low order orders were transferred to Southeast Asia, and high-end clothing could be purchased from Europe and the United States. With the appreciation of the renminbi, our export business is becoming more and more difficult. " Wang Yisheng, director of Lotte Garments Co. Ltd.
