The research results show that: (1) the role of CTI in China’s economy is on a declining trend and its share in the industrial sectors is shrinking; (2) CTI has long and high backward linkages with the upstream agriculture, chemistry and wholesale \& retail and high forward linkages with the downstream garment, papermaking and culture, chemistry and health; these connections are becoming closer and closer; (3) the power of dispersion and the power of dispersion index of CTI has been greater than the sensitivity of dispersion and sensitivity of dispersion index for a long time; it indicates that CTI is still the sector that drives China’s economic growth; (4) the final demand effect shows CTI has always been the most dependent on net exports, followed by consumption and investment and it’s still an export-oriented industry. Finally, some relevant policy suggestions are put forward.}, number = {02}, urldate = {2024-05-15}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {Jianlei, Zhang and Shengbin, Weng and Lin, He}, month = apr, year = {2024}, pages = {220--225}, }
