Ngomhla zi-6 kuNhlaba, 2025, njengoba umoya wasentwasahlobo ushanela emadolobheni anamanzi e-Yangtze River Delta, i-China Shaoxing Keqiao International Textile Fabrics & Accessories Expo (Ushicilelo Lwasentwasahlobo) yezinsuku ezintathu yaqala kahle e-Keqiao International Convention and Exhibition Center e-Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Lo mcimbi owaziwa ngokuthi "isimo sezulu semboni yendwangu," lo mcimbi ohlonishwayo, nendawo yawo yombukiso enkulukazi engamamitha-skwele angu-40,000, uqoqe amabhizinisi endwangu ekhwalithi ephezulu avela kulo lonke elaseShayina nasemhlabeni jikelele. Akusebenzanga nje njengenkundla yemboni yendwangu yasekhaya ukukhombisa izimpumelelo ezintsha kodwa futhi yasebenza njengozibuthe eheha ukunaka komhlaba wonke, idonsa abathengi abaningi bangaphandle abahambe amabanga amade beyofuna amathuba ebhizinisi olwandle olukhulu lwendwangu ye-Keqiao.
Ngaphakathi kwamahholo ombukiso, kwagcwala izixuku, kwavuleka izindwangu ezihlukahlukene njenge-画卷. Kusukela emilukweni ekhanya kakhulu yasentwasahlobo neyehlobo izacile njengamaphiko e-cicada kuya ezindwangu zesudi ezicwebezelayo, kusukela ezindwangu zezingubo zezingane ezinombala ogqamile ukuya ezintweni zezimpahla zangaphandle ezisebenzayo nezinesitayela, i-琳琅满目 ibonisa izivakashi ezimangele. Umoya wawugcwele iphunga elimnandi lezindwangu, elixutshwe nezingxoxo zezilimi ezihlukahlukene—isiNgisi, isiFulentshi, isiBengali, isiTopiya, nesiShayina zihlangene, zakha “umculo wokholo wamazwe ngamazwe” oyingqayizivele.
UMaddie, umthengi wase-Ethiopia, wakhangwa ngokushesha imibala egqamile engxenyeni yendwangu yezingane lapho nje engena ehholo. Yena 穿梭 phakathi kwamadokodo, ngezinye izikhathi egoba ukuze ezwe ukuthungwa kwezindwangu, ngezinye izikhathi ebamba ama-swatches phezulu ekukhanyeni ukuze ahlole ukubonakala, futhi ngezinye izikhathi athathe izithombe zezitayela eziyintandokazi nolwazi lwedokodo ngefoni yakhe. Phakathi nesigamu sehora, ifolda yakhe ye-swatch yagcwala amasampula endwangu angaphezu kweshumi nambili, futhi ukumamatheka okwanelisekile kwavela ebusweni bakhe. “Izindwangu zezingubo zezingane lapha ziyamangalisa,” kusho uMaddie ngesiShayina esiphukile kancane esixutshwe nesiNgisi. “Ukuthamba nokushesha kwemibala kuyahlangabezana nezidingo zemakethe yezwe lakithi, ikakhulukazi ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta amaphethini opopayi, obusezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu kunalokhu engike ngakubona kwamanye amazwe.” Okumjabulise kakhulu wukuthi abasebenzi bedokodo ngalinye bakubeka kwacaca ukuthi banezimboni ezibaxhasayo. “Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngeke kube khona isimo lapho 'amasampula ebukeka emahle kodwa ephelile.' Kukhona i-inventory eyanele yokuqinisekisa ukulethwa okusheshayo ngemva kokufaka i-oda.” Ngokushesha wenza aphoyintimenti namabhizinisi amathathu ukuthi avakashele izimboni zabo ngemuva kombukiso. "Ngifuna ukubona imigqa yokukhiqiza mathupha, ngiqinisekise ukuzinza kwekhwalithi, bese ngiphothula ama-oda amasha wokubambisana wesikhathi eside."
Phakathi kwesixuku, uMnu. Sai, umthengi wase-Bangladesh, ubonakale ejwayelene kakhulu nesimo. Egqoke isudi elingana kahle, exhawula ngokufudumele nabaphathi bamadokodo abajwayelekile futhi waxoxa ngamathrendi akamuva endwangu ngesiShayina esikhuluma kahle. “Sengineminyaka eyisithupha ngenza ibhizinisi lokuhwebelana namanye amazwe e-Keqiao, futhi angikaze ngiphuthelwe imibukiso yendwangu yasentwasahlobo neyekwindla lapha minyaka yonke,” kusho uMnu. Uvumile ukuthi waqale wakhetha i-Keqiao ngoba iyiqoqo lemboni yendwangu elikhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni, “kodwa ngahlala ngoba izindwangu ezilapha zihlala zingimangaza.” Ngokubona kwakhe, i-Keqiao Textile Expo iyiwindi elingcono kakhulu lokuthola ukuqonda mayelana nezitayela zendwangu yendwangu yomhlaba wonke. Unyaka ngamunye, ngiyakwazi ukubona ubuchwepheshe obusha nemiklamo lapha. Ngokwesibonelo, izindwangu ze-fiber ezigaywe kabusha nezindwangu ezisebenzayo ezilwa namagciwane ezidumile kulo nyaka zingaphambi kokubikezelwa komagazini bemfashini bamazwe ngamazwe.” Okubaluleke nakakhulu, izindwangu zika-Keqiao bezilokhu zigcina inzuzo "yekhwalithi enhle kakhulu ngamanani aphansi." “Izindwangu zekhwalithi efanayo lapha zinezindleko eziphansi ngo-15% -20% zokuthengwa kwempahla kunase-Europe, futhi kunohlu olubanzi kakhulu lwezinketho, ezihlanganisa yonke into kusukela kwezisezingeni eliphansi kuya kweziphezulu, ezingahlangabezana nezidingo zamakhasimende ethu ahlukene.” Kulezi zinsuku, uMnu. Sai udayisela inqwaba yezindwangu ezimbonini zezingubo e-Bangladesh nasemazweni angomakhelwane ngokusebenzisa i-Keqiao's supply chain, futhi umthamo wokuthenga waminyaka yonke ukhuphuka unyaka nonyaka. “I-Keqiao ifana ‘negalaji lami lebhizinisi likaphethiloli’—njalo uma ngiza lapha, ngingathola izindawo zokukhula ezintsha.”
Ngaphandle kukaMaddie noMnu. Sai, bekunabathengi abavela emazweni amaningi anjengeTurkey, India, neVietnam emahholo ombukiso. Bangase baxoxisane ngezintengo namabhizinisi, basayine ama-oda enhloso, noma babambe iqhaza kokuthi “Global Textile Trends Forum” ebanjwe kanyekanye, okuvuse amathuba okubambisana engeziwe ngokuhwebelana. Ngokwezibalo zokuqala zekomidi elihlelayo, ngosuku lokuqala lwalo mbukiso, inani labathengi bakwamanye amazwe lenyuke cishe ngamaphesenti angama-30 unyaka nonyaka, kanti ivolumu yokuthengiselana okuhlosiwe idlula izigidi ezingama-200 zamadola aseMelika.
“Njenge-International Textile Capital,” i-Keqiao sekuyisikhathi eside yaba isizinda sohwebo lwendwangu emhlabeni wonke ngochungechunge lwayo lwezimboni oluphelele, umthamo oqinile wokukhiqiza, kanye nokuqhubeka nokuthuthukisa amakhono okuqamba izinto ezintsha. Lo mbukiso we-spring textile expo uyi-microcosm yokubonisa amandla kuka-Keqiao emhlabeni—akuvumeli nje kuphela ukuthi izindwangu “Ezenziwe eShayina” ukuthi zihambele umhlaba wonke kodwa futhi zenza abathengi bomhlaba wonke bazizwele ubungqabavu nobuqotho bemboni yendwangu yaseShayina lapha, okwenza ukuxhumana phakathi kwe-Keqiao nomhlaba kusondele nakakhulu futhi ngokuhlanganyela beluka isithombe sebhizinisi lezindwangu esiwela umngcele.
