Less than a year and a half ago, when Nike was in the ascendant of the Chinese market, the company expects to double its annual sales volume to $4 billion in 4 years, according to foreign media.

Nike now says sales in China are likely to continue to decline in the next 2 quarters, which will be the 5 consecutive quarterly decline.

Other tier 1 international brands took a lower price strategy earlier than Nike to empty inventories, such as Adidas's sales in the Chinese market increased by 15% last year.
