Did Anyone Mention Islands? Chinese Buy Japanese Again

Found around the corner from Toyota It's not quite the all clear, but Japanese automakers (and their government-owned Chinese joint-venture partners) breathe a bit easier after receiving April sales numbers for China. Numbers had been down severely after last September's anti-Japan riots. Latest "figures suggest that the firms are closer to recovering their lost sales," says The Nikkei [sub]. Japanese Brands China, April 2016 Honda -2.4% Nissan 2.7% Toyota -6.5% Suzuki -24.0% Mazda -25.2% Honda, which was one of the hardest hit last October, is  down only 2.4 percent year-on-year. Nissan even eked-out a 2.7 growth for April.

As the table shows, some Japanese automakers wish they would be that lucky. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
