SAPPORO, Japan, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- China breezed to their eighth straight victory, maintaining a perfect 8-0 record at the FIVB Volleyball Women's World Cup after dismantling Kenya 3-0 (25-12, 25-12, 25-14) here on Tuesday.

China are poised to defend their title at the World Cup after beating arch-rivals USA 3-0 on Monday to snap the Nations League champions' six-game winning streak.

Kenya entered the match against China with an all-loss record in their previous seven games and have been still seeking their first triumph in the tournament.
