A worker makes hiking shoes in a factory in Jinjiang, Fujian Province, on June 26. Jinjiang, known as China's "capital of sports shoes," has taken up a 60-percent market share of the country's sportswear manufacturing industry. Due to a sluggish market and product homogeneity, the sportswear industry in Jinjiang experienced a bleak winter in the second half of 2012. In order to get over the hump, the enterprises concerned started to adjust their sales methods and output capacity. Some leading enterprises have already been experiencing an upturn in their fortunes compared with two years ago. (ZHANG GUOJUN)
