The United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement (Korus) And Its Impact On China’S Textile And Apparel Exports To The United States, Sheng Lu, Kitty Dickerson

Sheng Lu

This study is an empirical evaluation of the impact of the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS) on China’s textile and apparel (T&A) exports to the United States, with special focus on potential trade diversion effects of the agreement.

On the other hand, the task for the Chinese is to further reduce reliance on exports while absorbing the production capacity of the industry by stimulating more domestic consumption. With the economic interests between the U.S. and Chinese textile and …
