M K Panthaki, Director, CMAI China is not a threat to the Indian industry. This is due to a number of factors.
China is into bulk production and India more into fashion products.
Of course, I believe India should try to get a share in bulk supplies too, without abandoning the supply of fashion garments. After removal of quotas, it is quite possible for the western countries to pressurise China to do away with dual pricing, or face anti-dumping duties. China cannot win at the WTO either, and may opt for quotas for some more time. This leaves China with quotas, whereas India is free of the quota regime, leaving a huge market at its disposal. The Indian industry can take advantage of this opportunity.
