During the 9years from its establishment to date, China Film Stellar Theater Chain co., Ltd. has won the praises fromall levels and becometheleadingenterprise of the Chinese movieindustry.
But CJW Medical Center in Richmond, part of for-profit HCA chain, had stellar numbers: Its six-month mortality rate for heart valve patients was half the expected rate (7.6% versus 13.7%).
Against that backdrop, retail chains are reporting their same store sales for July today, and so far they are less than stellar, particularly considering the comparisons are to July of last year when chain store sales fell an average of 5%.
China's huge size means that to maintain stellar growth rates, the economy needs to move up the value-added chain fast and grab more export market share.
