The city of Shenyang, in Liaoning province, has reported a rapid increase in its online retail sales, in 2015, on Jan 11, noting that sales in the first 11 months amounted to 9-billion yuan ($1.3 billion), an increase of 50 percent, year-on-year.
Total retail sales of consumer goods (including offline) reached 192 billion yuan, up 7.3 percent, but e-publications and audiovisual products saw a big drop, down 11-percent, largely because of the wider use of smart phones, tablets and other e-devices.
