BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Sales of iPhones continue to fall in urban China and now trail Chinese brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi, an industry survey showed Thursday.

In Q2, Apple accounted for 17.9 percent of smartphone sales in urban China, 1.8 percentage points less than a year ago, according to a survey conducted by Kantar Worldpanel.

"The decline has pushed Apple behind Huawei at 25.7 percent and Xiaomi at 18.5 percent," said Tamsin Timpson, strategic insight director at Kantar Asia, although iPhone 6s and 6s plus remain the top sellers.

With the iPhone SE in short supply, the model made little impact, accounting for only 2.5 percent of total sales.

In contrast to the decline in China, iPhones returned to growth in France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain and the United States.

In the United States, Apple's sales grew 1.3 percentage points year-on-year, accounting for 31.8 percent of all sales.

Kantar Worldpanel ComTech carries out monthly panel surveys among Chinese urban mobile phone users to monitor the market share of various brands. Enditem

MEXICO CITY Oklahoma City Thunder T-Shirts , Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- A week after Mexico City's deadliest quake in three decades, the local government on Tuesday unveiled a reconstruction plan to make buildings more quake proof.

"Today we begin the implementation of a plan for the repair, recovery and transformation of Mexico City into a more resilient city," Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera told reporters at a press conference here.

Mancera presented an initial package of emergency measures to respond to the immediate economic and social needs of quake victims, including some 25,000 residents left homeless and currently in shelters.

Those who lost their homes will be eligible to receive some 3,000 pesos (about 167 U.S. dollars) a month to help pay rent.

The government will also help subsidize repairs, with the amount depending on the severity of the damage.

"If the property is damaged but can be inhabited, expenses will be covered for (repairing) cracks, and broken glass and ceilings," said Mancera, adding house owners will be able to receive up to 8,000 pesos to cover the expenses (445 U.S. dollars).

The reconstruction plan foresees repairing nearly 12,000 properties that have been classified into three categories -- 10,000 green, 1,300 yellow and 500 red -- according to the extent of destruction.

Mexico City is divided into 16 delegations, or boroughs, each with its own borough chief, and they are to complete a census of the damage and present the results to the Federal Natural Disaster Fund (Fonden) to release funding.

The financial group BBVA Bancomer announced Tuesday it will donate 180 million pesos (around 10 million U.S. dollars) for the reconstruction of schools in Mexico damaged by the 7.1-magnitude earthquake on September 19.

The 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck central Mexico a little past 1 p.m. on Sept. 19, 32 years to the day after a deadly 8.1-magnitude quake killed thousands in Mexico City.

The death toll so far stands at 333, nearly two-thirds of the victims were killed in Mexico City, where at least 38 buildings collapsed.
