Britain's biggest supermarket chain, Tesco Plc, is reportedly dropping its brand in China when it officially enters into a joint venture with China Resources Enterprise Ltd, further consolidating the latter as the largest retailer in the country in terms of market share.

In the fast-moving business world, nothing is guaranteed but change: change is in the market, in customer preference and technology.
Taiyuan Heavy Industry Co Ltd (Taizhong) began life in 1950 as the first producer of heavy equipment in the infancy of the People's Republic of China.
