BEIJING -- Car sales in China continued to decline in November, placing them on course to mark their first annual decline in 28 years as homegrown brands from state-owned manufacturers struggle to compete with foreign rivals.
New-auto sales dropped 13.9% on the year to 2,547,800 units in November, falling for five months in a row, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said Tuesday. Cumulative sales from January are down 1.7% on the year.
