    Japan's auto industry to accelerate the transfer to China

    This year's earthquake in the Japanese automotive industry is a fatal blow. According to the Japanese Finance Ministry on May 25 announced the initial April trade statistics show that auto exports dropped 67% year on year, to 255.3 billion yen, the highest since January 1979, the lowest.

Thus, not only in Japan, the United States, Germany and other auto parts giants have already invested in China. Michelin, Johnson Controls, Delphi, Visteon and other transnational parts giant, their distribution in China even before the Japanese companies.
