BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Chinese consumer spending on fast moving consumer goods in the second quarter grew 4.6 percent from a year ago Cheap Womens UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Short Boots 5803 Sand , up from 2 percent in the first quarter, according to a recent report.

Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) refers to food and non-food everyday consumer products that sell quickly and at relatively low cost.

Modern trade channels, including hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores, showed a similar trend of improved growth -- 1.4-percent growth in the second quarter compared to a decline of 0.5 percent in the first quarter of 2016 Womens UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Short Boots 5803 Black Clearance , global research company Kantar Worldpanel said in a report released late on Friday.

Modern trade's growth was most prominent in county-level cities and their surrounding urbanized counties, with their growth rates at 2 percent and 3.9 percent respectively.

Kantar Worldpanel China measures household purchases over 100 product categories, including cosmetics, food and beverages and toiletry and household goods, through 40 Womens UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet Boots 1873 Black Outlet ,000 sample families.

Modern trade in eastern and western China performed much better than southern and northern regions. The eastern region grew at 2.8 percent, helped by the strong performance of Sun-Art Group and Wal-Mart Group. Western China grew at 3.6 percent, driven by Wal-Mart Group and Yonghui Group.

U.S.-based Wal-Mart Group has seen relatively stable performance in 2016.

However, other international retailers such as Carrefour, Tesco and Lotus suffered continued share erosion Womens UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet Boots 1873 Chestnut Online , resulting in the overall poor performance of international retailers.

Sun-Art Group and Yonghui lead the growth among Chinese players. Sun-Art group managed to increase its shopper base through both continued development of existing stores and incremental opening of new ones.

Yonghui consolidated its position as a top-5 national retailer. Yonghui has continued to perform well in 2016 with fast growth in penetration and basket size, enabling its share to continue to exceed Lianhua Group in Q2 after first overtaking it in Q1.

Continuous FMCG slowdown, combined with the impact of e-commerce growth in China, has pressured physical retailers into finding new solutions to drive growth.

According to Kantar Worldpanel, in the 52 weeks ending on June 17 Wholesale Womens UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Triplet Boots 1873 Grey , total FMCG e-commerce penetration reached 49 percent, adding another 10 percentage points from last year. Tmall and JD led online, with spending growth rates over 80 percent.

While continuing to experiment with their own e-shopping platforms, major retail chains are now seeking to bolster their performance through strategic partnerships with existing digital players.

BEIJING， July 6 (Xinhua) -- China's large steel plants saw improved profits and narrowed losses in the first five months of this year thanks to their destocking efforts， according to a national steel association.

Major iron and steel enterprises raked in 8.736 billion yuan (1.31 billion U.S. dollars) in the Jan-May period， up over 700 percent year on year while fewer firms reported losses， according to the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA).

The improvement is a result of the firms' rational response to overcapacity in the sector， as most large iron and steel plants reduced their output in the first five months and tried to stabilize product prices， CISA head Liu Zhenjiang said.

Total steel production in the first five months of this year dropped 1.4 percent year on year， data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed.

China， the world's largest steel producer and consumer， plans to cut steel capacity by about 10 percent -- as much as 150 million tonnes of steel -- in the next few years， with funds set aside to help redundant workers.

Japan is sending 100 soldiers and radar to its westernmost outpost, a tropical island off Taiwan, in a deployment that risks angering China with ties between Asia's biggest economies already hurt by a dispute over nearby islands they both claim.

Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera will break ground on Saturday for a military lookout station on Yonaguni, which is home to 1,500 people and just 150 km (93 miles) from the disputed Diaoyu Islands.

The mini-militarization of Yonaguni - now defended by two police officers - is part of a longstanding plan to improve defence and surveillance in Japan's far-flung frontier.

Building the radar base on the island ugg boots leather ireland , which is much closer to China than to Japan's main islands, could extend Japanese monitoring to the Chinese mainland and track Chinese ships and aircraft circling the disputed crags, called the Senkaku by Japan and the Diaoyu by China.

"We decided to deploy a Ground Self-Defense Force unit on Yonaguni Island as a part of our effort to strengthen the surveillance over the south-western region," Onodera said this week. "We are staunchly determined to protect Yonaguni Island, a part of t.
