By the 1980s and 1990s, the local government took advantage of the reform and opening up to promote the development of the chemical fiber textile industry to a new level. In 2001, before Kaiping became “China’s Textile Industry Base,” there were 263 chemical fiber textile companies in the city with annual sales revenue of more than 5 million yuan, with a total output value of more than 10.4 billion yuan, accounting for 53.95% of the total output value of similar industries in the province.
