South Africa is unlikely to extend restrictions on Chinese textile imports beyond December 2008, when they are due to expire, a senior government official said on Wednesday.

"We don't have any applications from anyone [to extend the quotas] ... and so my expectation is that if we don't get any, they will expire," Tshediso Matona, director general in the Department of Trade and Industry, told reporters.

South Africa introduced quotas to restrict Chinese textile and clothing imports in January 2007 after unions complained the cheaper products were hurting local manufacturers and cuasing job losses.
