This article analyzes the Chinese retailing industry since 1981. Three phases of development are identified. Phase I (1981-1990) was dominated by state-owned retailers and the system of planned economy was the key force driving the dynamics of the sector. Phase II (1991-2000) witnessed diversification in terms of ownership structure and format of operation. Market mechanism gained the central position in attracting investments from various sources and opening chain stores was the most popular practice in business expansion. Phase III (2001- 2005) featured the profound momentum for globalization. As domestic and international players became more active and aggressive, retailing in China experienced more concentration, with merger and acquisition applied as the primary means of expansion.
