[Photo/Xinhua News Agency] Sapporo, Japan - China beat Kenya 3-0 on Tuesday afternoon to extend their winning streak to eight games at the Women's Volleyball World Cup.   With victories of 25-12, 25-12 and 25-14, the Chinese women's football team leads the standings with a perfect 8-0 win-loss record in the 12-team round-robin tournament.   Head coach Lang Ping rested several regular starters, including Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue and Ding Xia, while Gong Xiangyu led China in scoring with 13 points and Li Yingying added 11 points.   "Today, we gave some young players a chance to play, and I think it's important for them to get some experience at this level of competition," Lang Ping said. "It took them a few sets to find their rhythm, and I think they have a lot to learn from the senior players."   The Chinese women scored 26 points through Kenya's errors, while Kenya's Sharon Chepchumba Kiprono scored 9 points and Kenya's errors accounted for 6 points.   China jumped to an 11-3 lead after leading 8-0 and continued to lead the first set 25-12. In the second set, China surged ahead with a score of 9-1 and never looked back.   "We didn't expect to beat China. But we worked very hard to get over 10 points in every set, and there were times in the game when we could attack," Kenya head coach Businei Bitok Paul said. "I hope we can win after learning from other teams in this World Cup."
