Export king Chery's overseas sales leap 21%
Chery Automobile Co. said its vehicle exports from China in January jumped 21 percent year-on-year to 11,823 units, the state-owned Xinhua news service reported.
Last year, the state-owned automaker exported a record 160,200 units -- enough to maintain its status as China's top domestic exporter, company spokesman Jin Yibo said.
Chery continues to expand overseas. Last summer, the company opened a CKD plant in Venezuela, and it is building an assembly plant in Brazil.
According to Xinhua, Chery also has announced plans to build plants in Myanmar and some African countries.
