China's domestic yarn production reached 1,815,400 tons, up 4.31 percent from October and an increase of 13.9 percent from the previous year. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) estimated cumulative January through November yarn production at 18,048,700 tons, up 17.1 percent from last year. Fixed asset investment in the textile and apparel sector remains at new record levels, with most of this investment moving away from the spinning sector to other groups such as fabric finishing and MMF production, slowing the growth rate in yarn production.
