South African textile union complains about the national rugby uniform "made in China"

According to the "Global Times" report published on September 6, the 2011 Rugby World Cup will start in New Zealand this week. South Africa has just started to send its national team to go on and on the journey. However, the domestic textile trade unions complained that the South African national team “wears Chinese-made team uniforms, which damages the interests of local manufacturers”.

According to the South African "Star" reported on the 5th, after discovering that the current national team rugs worn by South African national rugby team sweaters and fans are "Made in China", the South African Garment and Textile Workers Union said that South African Rugby Union "makes thousands Thousands of South African garment workers are disappointed." The secretary of the union, Krry, said that since the beginning of last year, the Garment and Textile Workers Union has indicated to the South African Rugby Union that it is willing to form a partnership with it and write to the coalition to express its position. He said that the local garment production industry has the ability to produce these garments.

During the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France, the South African trade unions had appealed to South Africans not to wear national team fan pullovers, "because these clothes are produced in China." But later the union canceled the appeal.
