Interpretation: Wenzhou's nearly 70 shoe manufacturers exporting to the EU have actively expanded their export markets, adjusted their product mix and improved their technological content under the EU's anti-dumping stick.

For footwear industry, it can be said that "the world looks at China, China looks at Wenzhou".

EU consumers like to buy Wenzhou shoes, and Wenzhou's shoemaking enterprises also like to earn foreign exchange in the big market of the EU. The EU government's self imposed anti-dumping barriers can not stop the market going forward.
