BEIJING， Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Three Chinese brands， OPPO， Huawei and Vivo，
outperformed Apple and Xiaomi to become the top three smartphone vendors in
China in terms of shipments in 2016.

For the first time， OPPO sold the most， 78.4 million mobile handsets in China
last year， soaring 122.2 percent from 2015， according to a report released
Monday by the International Data Corporation (IDC).

In 2015， OPPO was ranked fourth in a similar IDC list.

Vivo was the fifth largest smartphone vendor in 2015， but was third in 2016
with a 96.9 percent surge in sales to 69.2 million handsets， the report said.

Both brands were popular among the young， especially fashionable young women，
due to celebrity endorsements， embedded advertisments in entertainment programs
and a well developed brick-and-motar retail network in smaller cities.

"Their brands became increasingly recognized by consumers through intensive
brand exposure and word of mouth，" the report said .

Huawei stayed second， up 21.8 percent to 76.6 million units. Its market share
edged up slightly from a year earlier to 16.4 percent in 2016.

The top three Chinese brands grabbed a total of 48 percent of the Chinese
market last year.

Jin Di， a research manager with IDC China， said another reason behind the
success of Chinese brands was their willingness to share profits with
distribution partners.

Apple dropped from third in 2015 to fourth in 2016， as shipments to China
plunged 23.2 percent to 44.9 million units.

Xiaomi was top in 2015， but fell to the bottom of the top-five vendors， with
a 36 percent plunge in sales in China.

Total smartphone shipment volume in China rose 8.7 percent to 467.3 million
handsets last year.

The IDC forecast that the volume in 2017 will continue to grow as consumers
replace old phones， but that the growth will be slower than 2016.

New changes are likely in China's smartphone market this year due to fierce
competition among Chinese manufacturers， the IDC said.

Worldwide， the top five smartphone vendors in terms of shipments last year
were Samsung， Apple， Huawei， OPPO and Vivo.

OTTAWA- A gunman attacked Canada's parliament on Wednesday, with gunfire
erupting near a room where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was speaking, and a
soldier was fatally shot at a nearby war memorial, jolting the Canadian capital.

The gunman in the parliament building was shot dead air
jordan 12 doernbecher mens , and Harper was safely removed.

Canadian police said they could not "at this point" confirm whether the man
who shot dead the soldier, who was guarding the National War Memorial in central
Ottawa, was the same person who shortly afterwards attacked the parliament
building.

Witnesses said a flurry of shots were fired after a gunman entered the
parliament building, pursued by police.

The assault took place very near the room where Harper was meeting with
members of his Conservative party jordan

"PM (Harper) was addressing caucus, then a huge boom, followed by rat-a-tat
shots. We all scattered. It was clearly right outside our caucus door," Treasury
Board Minister Tony Clement told Reuters.

The incident cheap
jordan 12 doernbecher mens , shocking in Canada's normally tranquil
capital, began shortly before 10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT) and was not over late on
Wednesday afternoon. Parliament and buildings in downtown remained on emergency
lockdown.

Canadian police were investigating a man named as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau as a
possible suspect in the shootings, a source familiar with the matter said. Two
U.S. officials said U.S. agencies had been advised the suspect was a Canadian
convert to Islam.

Security in Ottawa came under criticism after the gunman was able to run
through the unlocked front door of the main parliament building. Police said an
operation was under way to make parliament safe.

"It caught us by surprise... If we had known that this was coming jordan

Gilles Michaud, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,
(RCMP) told a news conference.

It was unclear whether there was any connection between Wednesday's shootings
and an attack on Monday when a convert to Islam ran down two Canadian soldiers
with his car jordan
12 doernbecher mens sale , killing one, near Montreal, before being
shot dead by police in the first fatal attack on Canadian soil tied to Islamic
militants.

No group, Islamic or otherwise jordan
12 doernbecher mens , claimed responsibility for either the attack
in Ottawa or the one near Montreal. Monday's attacker, 25-year-old Martin
Rouleau, who converted to Islam last year, was among 90 people being tracked by
the RCMP on suspicion of taking part in militant activities abroad or planning
to do so.

Canada announced this month it was joining the battle against Islamic State
fighters who have taken over parts of Iraq and Syria.

GUNS DRAWN IN PARLIAMENT

From witness accounts it appeared the suspect dashed into
parliament www.jordan12doernbecher.com/ ,
ran past the room where Harper was speaking and was gunned down outside the
entrance to the library, only about 60 feet (20 metres) away.

Dramatic video footage posted by the Globe and Mail newspaper showed police
with guns drawn inside the main parliament building. At least a dozen loud bangs
can be heard on the clip, echoing through the hallway.

Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino, a former policeman cheap air jordan 12
doernbecher , told the Toronto Sun that parliament's head of
security, Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, shot dead a suspected gunman.

Canadian cabinet minister Jason Kenney said a guard in parliament buildings
was also wounded in the incident.

Harper stressed that.
