Five or so years ago I had the good fortune to visit a commercial printer in China. The factory was run down and the equipment was old and decrepit. As a result, the work that was being produced was of a poor standard and you didn't need to use a linen tester to establish this. To put it bluntly, it wasn't what I expected of a global superpower.

A successful textile event organised by FESPA's Chinese Association CSGIA was held in December in Guangzhou alongside the CSGIA exhibition.

At our last meeting support was given to a number of new projects as follows:

An environmental conference in Denmark aimed at Nordic countries, a digital seminar in Belgrade in May, in Slovakia the 6th International seminar to be held in Piestany in October, assistance towards the cost of translating the Planet Friendly Guide into Spanish, as well as a textile conference in China in November.
