Actually, Chinese motors production and sales saw continuous decreases from March to July. As a result, the situation of Chinese motors market seemed to get better from August as September and October are always the boom season for motor industry. In the meantime, attitudes in that market remain conservative, since most motor plants hold many stocks on hand, and if demand in those months may get better, plants should be in a hurry to clear out stocks instead of increasing output.
