BEIJING Cheap Mens Air Jordan 12 Doernbecher Black/Hyper Violet-Pink Blast AH6987-023 , July 23 (Xinhua) -- Brick-and-mortar shops? More like broken and mortal. Challenged by the online shopping frenzy, Chinese high streets are struggling.
In the Lafayette Gallery, which opened in 2013 on Beijing's bustling Xidan Street, shop assistants complained about not selling a single shirt in days. Although restaurants and theaters in the top two storeys are crowded with people, the clothing shops are getting very little business.
A woman from Lafayette's press department, upon seeing Xinhua's interview request http://www.jordan12doernbecher.com/air-jordan-12-doernbecher.html , asked, "Will this be a favorable or unfavorable report? Because all press reports have been about us having no customers."
Such a gloomy outlook has become common among China's retailers, as e-commerce, which saw a year-on-year growth of 40 percent in the first five months of 2015, reshapes the country's business landscape.
The retail market is polarizing: Traditional department stores selling everything from food to footwear are seeing fewer visitors and closing, but one-stop shopping centers like Beijing's Joy City are thriving.
At two such department stores air jordan 12 retro doernbecher mens , Xidan Shopping Center, and Beijing Department Store on Wangfujing Street, visitors are scarce even on a weekend.
"Department stores are being sandwiched by high-end competition from larger shopping malls and price competition from online sellers," said Wu Bin, operation manager of Yintai Shopping Group, which runs a number of department stores.
"We used to put out clothes and shoes and people simply came to buy. Now cheap air jordan 12 doernbecher mens , we have to woo them. It's like in a relationship; you have to let the customers like you, love you and come to see you," he said.
"People have started to go to shopping malls for fun and you have to provide fun. Chinese retailers cannot survive only by selling products," Wu added.
According to a report by the China Retailers' Association, 26 department stores closed in the first six months of 2015. China's top retailer, Wanda air jordan 12 doernbecher mens shoes , alone closed 10 shops in different cities. Sources with the company said none of its shops opened after 2007 were profit-making.
In 2014, about 201 retailers closed across China, up 474 percent from the figure in 2013. The sales of China's top 97 retailers in 2014 dropped by 6 percent from the previous year. In 2014, 214,600 people worked in retailing in China, down 5.56 percent from 2013.
"China's retailers are facing a tough battle air jordan 12 doernbecher mens sale , an inevitable erosion of customers," said Chen Lipeng, a professor with the Capital University of Economics and Business.
"The retailers have to either replace the non-profit-making shops with entertainment and dining facilities and provide hearty individualized service or they could spend six to 10 years to build their brand to boost consumption," he said.
GOING ONLINE
"We don't see the Internet as an enemy, but as a way to improve our services," Yan Qier air jordan 12 doernbecher mens , Joy City's promotions manager, told Xinhua.
Last year, the shopping center launched an online program based around a newsletter and promotions that allow it to gather customer data for analysis. Data on more than 30 million customer visits has been collected.
"We found that people who like shopping online also like shopping here, so we focus on special fashion offerings that are not easily found online," Yan said.
A McKinsey report from 2013 said China's online consumption has not simply replaced consumption that would have taken place offline. Rather, for each dollar spent online jordan 12 retro doernbecher mens , around 40 cents is from incremental -- or new -- consumption, it said. Retailers are trying to get that money to be spent at brick-and-mortar stores.
"By profiling with this data, we better understand the needs of our customers," said Zhang Can, Joy City's development manager.
At the mall, if they want to eat at a restaurant cheap jordan 12 doernbecher mens , shoppers can get in line through a WeChat message and then go shopping. An alert will be sent to the shopper's phone when the table is ready.
"We try our best to get people to come here, bring them better experiences in dining, shopping even parking," Zhang said.
TOKYO， Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- The organizer of the eighth Asian Winter Games (AWG) in Sapporo said Tuesday it will not accommodate Chinese athletes in the APA Hotel & Resort during the games that begin later this month.
The organizing committee has made arrangement for athletes from China and South Korea to stay in the Sapporo Prince Hotel during the games at the request of top sports bodies of the two countries， Hisachika Yamazaki， an official of the committee， told Xinhua over telephone.
The eighth AWG will be held in Sapporo and Obihiro on Feb. 19-26.
To save costs， the organizing committee has chosen two local hotels as official designated hotels for the athletes， while the APA Hotel & Resort Sapporo is one of them.
However， the Japanese APA hotel chain has recently sparked fury among Chinese and South Koreans for placing history-distorting books in its guest rooms.
The books， authored by Seiji Fuji， the pen name of APA Group CEO Toshio Motoya， denied that the Nanjing Massacre and the forced recruitment of "comfort women" ever happened.
The Chinese Olympic Committee (COC) has urged the organizing committee of the eighth AWG to solve the issue swiftly and properly.
The COC said the APA Group's behavior violates the Olympic Charter which stresses that the athletes should compete "without being drawn into political controversies" and the competition should "provide a Games environment that lets athletes compete without distractions from divisive and emotional issues outside the world of sport."
South Korea's top sports body Korean Sport and Olympic Committee (KSOC) has also demanded Japan not to accommodate its athletes in the right-wing Japanese hotel chain.
