Focused of China

The summer of 2013 brought a feast of data for skeptics pessimistic about the economic outlook in China. GDP and profit growth in the number two global economy slowed. Orders for manufactured goods were weak. Concerns about bad credit environment excess capacity were commonplace. And the major indices of the bottom trawling China four years, a bad omen for the future. Such a slowdown contributed to the collection of sadness in other emerging economies in Asia and elsewhere , the easy financing that helped fuel their growth begins to tighten. But in fact, the history of China's growth remains strong in industries that have received relatively less attention from the government, where private entities have gained significant footholds . ( Stock indices that reflect disproportionately acts in state-owned companies can be misleading. ) Textiles and clothing trade - long Chinese pillar but fragmented between many producers , is indicative. After initial gains of the end of quotas following the entry into the World Trade Organization China in 2001 , the industry has slipped during the global financial crisis (where China has also lost some cost advantages wage ), but now he clawed his way back. Production of Chinese textile firms 'ladder' (meaning with sales of over $ 3.3 million ) increased by 13.3% during the first six months of 2013 compared to a year earlier to 488 billion, according to a national trade group .

Chinese exports of textiles and clothing increased by 12 % in the first half of the year to $ 127 billion , despite rising domestic wages and tepid global consumption. But demand and production at home is adding punch : the overseas shipments have generated 37% of fabric and yarn sales in 2002 now account for only 16 %.

Clothes distribution in China

The markets of the big consumption

Companies supply the large-scale distribution with products which is going to sell them to the consumers. They are daily consumer goods for the majority. For example, we find farm-produce products but also a lot of care and hygiene there, and the domestic equipment …

The sector of clothes distribution in China

Since the launch from 1978 of the big economic reform in People's Republic of China, the sector of the distribution is reborn such a phoenix of ashes of its existence previous to the Communist Revolution. During the first year of liberalization of the retail sale in 1978, a million private shops opened their doors. From 1992, the number of shops deprived in China had multiplied tenfold. The Same year, the turnover realized by the Chinese retail dealers exceeded billion yuan one thousand. In 1995, the retail sales will have doubled by exceeding two billion yuan thousand and a new doubling of this figure is foreseen for the year 2000. The real increase of the turnover retail in 1995 with regard to 1994 was 10 %.

Western clothes distribution in China

The western products exercise a powerful force of attraction on the Chinese consumers. The successes of Avon, Proctor and Gamble, Johnson and Johnson, Nike, Benetton, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Maxim, Pabst, Peugeot, Chrysler and many others else are indisputable.

The French distribution supported strongly by all the professional and public authorities well plans to exploit the Chinese potential. The spring opened in June, 1995 a five-storeyed shop in Shanghai engaging at least hundred and fifty million francs in the only renovation of the building. 6 The opening of two other shops, to Dalian and to Chengdu, is scheduled for 1996, the shop of Beijing that must open in 1997.

water throwing festival

The Burmese make a big party of the New Year. the "water throwing festival," is celebrated in April. This year it takes place April 13-16.

Everything shuts down over the four-day New Year -- banks, restaurants, shops. The biggest celebrations are in Yangon and Mandalay. 

During this period "water-throwing frenzy" everyone throws and sprays water at each other. Staying dry isn't an option. Water symbolizes the washing away of the previous year's bad luck and sins.

On New Year's Day, the fourth day of the festival, fish and birds are released as acts of merit and feasts are held for monks.

In recent years of privation, hard-core Burmese punks used leather glue to spike up their hair at New Year. The superstrong glue meant their mohawks stayed standing through the Water Festival, but when the party was over they had to shave their hair. These days, Burmese punks use hairspray.

Importation of Gold in China!

Importation of Gold in China! 

Net imports Golden China from Hong Kong fell slightly in September but overall are considered strong , with an investment bank citing as an example of the ongoing transition to a higher demand in the country the East than in the West. Shipments to China from Hong Kong were 116.3 tonnes in September , exports to Hong Kong 6.9. That left net imports of 109.4 metric tons, down 0.7% from 110.2 the previous month, according to press reports . " Month after month data show that small changes are not really significant . What matters is the trend over a long period ... ," said Jeffrey Nichols , Managing Director of American Precious Metals Advisors and Advisor main economic to Rosland Capital. China " has become in recent years may be the major factor in the physical market and is likely to remain or become even more - . In the years to come"

 Beijing government

The Chinese government does not release the actual statistics for imports in mainland China. As a result , analysts monitor Census Hong Kong and statistics in order to measure the flow of gold in China. "It was ... the fifth consecutive show net imports of more than 100 tons " month, said Commerzbank . reports peg net imports to 826 tonnes so far this year , double the first nine months of 2012. Commerzbank said Chinese imports far exceeded the output of products traded in global stock market gold , it lists, in a little less than 703 metric tons in the first nine months of the year. "This is further evidence that the demand for gold is moving from West to East ," said Commerzbank  source


 Many analysts believe that the data support the idea that China will overtake India as the world 's largest consumer of gold in 2013. While Chinese demand has been strong for most of the year, imports from India have been reported softer in response to government efforts to limit the input of metal to reduce the large current account deficit . "With what is happening in India right now , China is by far the largest importer ," said Afshin Nabavi , head of trading with MKS (Switzerland) SA . " Remember, they ( the Chinese) are also production themselves inside that is consumed by them. " Traders will be watching closely the October data when it is released to see if a slowdown in Chinese imports is observed. The Chinese market was closed for a week stretch during the Golden Week holiday , Nabavi said. In addition, many analysts believe that the activity in China was duller at the end of October, with softer premiums earlier this year. " It will be interesting to see what the numbers we have in October ," said Nabavi . Nichols pointed out, however, that lower premiums are not necessarily an indicator of the decline in domestic demand in China .

 The government has taken measures

 "The government has taken measures , in a sense, to provide more supply on the domestic market, increasing the number of banks and financial companies that are authorized to import gold," he said . "They somehow grease the wheels a little more to improve the possibility of large bonuses again. " He said Chinese supplies are probably rising, mine production and scrap metal . This means that consumption especially strong if the country imports metal at the same time . In addition, it is likely that more metal than reported circulating in the country via smuggling across the major border " porous ", especially when premiums are high, Nichols said. And , he said , the central bank countries is thought to be adding to its gold reserves , and this result can be held in deposits with other central banks and therefore not included in the import statistics . Nichols suggested that the government may try to encourage the demand for private investment while minimizing the impact of energy prices on the world market . " He wants to buy cheap gold rather than prices that would certainly be higher if people gave adequate recognition to strong demand from China ," said Nichols . He added : " Intuitively, I feel that Chinese demand is very strong, will remain strong over the long term and become a factor more important in setting the prices on world markets. "
