FORD CONSIDERING EXPORTING U.S.-BUILT CARS TO CHINA





Although most vehicles built in the United States don’t normally make it any farther than Canada, Ford has announced it is exploring a plan to export U.S.-made vehicles to China.

Ford is a relative latecomer to the Chinese market, but is expanding its efforts through partnerships with Changan , Mazda and Jiangling. Ford is currently building a $300 million joint factory with Jiangling.
