GENERAL Motors Co and Ford Motor Co have reported gains in sales in the world's largest auto market last month as Chinese consumers shunned Japanese brands amid a territorial dispute between the two countries.
Deliveries of GM's cars and minivans in China climbed 14 percent to 251,812 units in October, the Detroit-based automaker said in a statement on its website yesterday. Ford sold 60,518 vehicles last month in the country, or 48 percent more than a year earlier, according to an e-mailed statement.
US auto brands have gained from the consumer backlash against Japanese carmakers, including Toyota and Honda.
"The influence on consumer mentality here could be long-lasting," said Lin Huaibin, a Shanghai-based analyst at IHS Automotive. "This is bad news for the Japanese OEMs and very good news for the Germans and Americans."
