“China’s car market next year is likely to remain in a slow growing trend overall,” Zhang said.
Zhang was speaking on the sidelines of a press conference at which it was announced that its JV with PSA would receive additional investment.
China’s vehicle market has slowed in recent months as government incentives for the purchase of some models have been removed and amid a tightening of monetary policy as Beijing has stepped up efforts to prevent the economy overheating.
