structural transformation. The cities most affected by retail revolution are Dalian, Shanghai, Beijing & Guangzhou, however, the trend can be witnessed in entire China. Supermarkets & convenience stores, designed after popular commercial layouts in Western & Southeast Asian nations, has brought more options & more comfortable environment of shopping for the Chinese consumers. The chain stores concept, another foreign model, has helped to conjoin the sector and augment the brand use. The retail sector in China is turning into a battlefield as supermarket giants and foreign department stores are flocking in to revolutionize the shopping experience in China. Apart from salt, tobacco, newspapers, pharmaceutical products, magazines, crude oil &chemical fertilizers, China now permits foreign ventures to set up retailing and wholesaling joint ventures (JVs) with domestic companies. Restrictions that were previously imposed on shareholder structures, etc, are being lifted gradually. According to experts, China's retail sector would maintain a healthy growth percentage. Disciplined competition & cooperation would lead the domestic retailers to sustainable and healthy development & reform.
